Directv Winegard Issues
Ok, we are camping at Fiddlers Cove in San Diego. My Winegard Dish won't connect with the directv service. Been on the phone with directv and Winegard. Any suggestions as to how to fix this thing? ...

Glad I read these posts. I too have been having a hard time getting locked up sat signal with dish. Seems to be getting super finicky. I was going to to spider hunting, figuring there was probably one building webs inside the dome and somehow fouling it up.but, if parts can move around a little making it work harder to get the job done then there's more reason to do some investigating.Otherwise there isn't really any turning to a Winegard dome dish, is there?
The satellite inside the dome not only rotates approx. 360 degrees, but it also steps up and/or down, all this to lock onto the satellite signal..so yes, there is more movement inside the dome than what you might think...
Before I went with the Trav'ler HD satellite, I had a dome and on occasion, I would take the dome off (easily done) and inspect the unit to make sure all was well...I had to replace a limit switch one time when it wouldn't lock onto sat. sig... I found this myself...got part through Winegard under warranty...Alway's found them pretty good to deal with.
