If this is a tube TV then you will either need to get the satellite system hooked up and working, a digital to analog converter box installed between the antenna and TV with one per TV, or replace the tube TV's with a new digital ready flat screen TV.

If it is already a digital TV then since you have two sat dishes, the previous owner took the sat boxes with him. There should be close to each TV a wall plate that has coax connectors which are connected to the antenna.

If you bought this from an individual, perhaps they could help you get them working. If you bought it from a dealer, they should have demonstrated that the TV's were hooked up and working.

Ok TV 101
You have 3 choices on most large motor homes for TV.
Over the air
Cable
Satellite

Now, Over the air.. I'm guessing you likely have the original 2002 Television, that WILL NOT WORK without a digital adapter to convert ATSC to NTSC video.. Sorry, Recommend an upgrade

Park cable may be a problem (Thanks to the portable sat dish)

Satellite needs a subscription or else no joy there eitehr.. and a sat receiver.

Basically I'd recommend you have someone with experience assist you. If you are in S.E. Ga I work for coffee. The job is way easier to do than describe.
