There are the coax cables AND the control cable that supplies power to the antenna.
Right. There are 3 sat cables (labeled "A", "B", and "C") + 1 control box cable.
Currently Winegard provides two RG6 cables. Do yourself a favor and run 3 RG6 cables into the RV for possible future upgrades.Bill.Satellite wrote:JimM68 wrote:
Does anyone know for sure if the trav'ler will support a dish hopper?
Does the required "solo node" switch mount outside or inside?
The Dish Trav'ler (SK-1000) does support the Hopper and Joey combination. You can install the Solo Node either inside or out. Just base it's location upon where you will be running your cables that leave the Solo Node.
I would NOT suggest placing a Solo (or Duo) Node on the roof because it limits future upgrades.
What future upgrades?
A Winegard Traveler can support two Hoppers using a Duo Node that is connected to the 3 sat outputs (A, B, and C).
While you might not plan on installing two Hoppers, running those 3 cables inside your RV gives you that option.
Installing the Solo Node on the roof also gives you the option to install a Duo Node later (few will ever need or want this, however) and it gives you many more options as you where to run the cables to the second Hopper.
