Am I missing something here? A COMPOSITE feed will NOT give a hi-def picture...he needs an HDMI or at the very least, a COMPONENT feed to the TV to do that. And coax? Yes, you can get a high-def, roof feed with a coax, but coming out of that satellite receiver with a coax, well, I don't think will provide the best signal....at least that's what I find on MY setup.

Cliff, we both must be on the same wavelength. I was typing my last response at the same time as YOU!

Great minds really must think alike!....Hope this helps the OP....

check and make sure your power booster is off.

My mistake, it's a component feed. Wonder is the dish on the Roadtrip is a bit small for the NY area...

Thanks

If it's component that's not coax, that would be 3 separate wires for HD video (up to 720p) and separate wiring for sound (audio). Try hooking up to a TV directly to bypass the switch to try and isolate the problem.

Audio will probably be 2 RCA wires (analog) but could be a single coax (digital). Forget sound for troubleshooting purposes.

Thanks for everyone's help

When I get a chance I will try and report back

iF component feet be aware there are 3 different standards for that too... Need to be on teh same type of feed. HDMI is best (odd looking plug) the common 3 wire A/V feed is the worst of the component feeds, and there is a 4 and 5 wire version that is better and better still. Correction: LEAD, not wire (each lead is really 2 wires).

Coaxial (RF) to the remote TV is fairly common, though top end rigs now days often use HDMI.

I just activated my in motion dish yesterday. I have the wienguard/ dish net system. I was fine when I wasn't moving, but when I moved, I didn't get much of a signal. The road that I was on had a lot of trees which was the issue. I am wondering how the system works along major highways such as I-95 ect. I live in South Jersey area but travel along east coast.
