Had similar issue until I discovered portable does not support two receivers. Had to upgrade to Anser

Jim, what is Anser? I am now using the dish on the roof of my cottage that is set up FO Swm system just like my Traveler. I bring into coac through the portable port but only get one TV just like my vucube. I wonder if I installed a diplexer if I could get it to the bedroom. Maybe I should give up. I am located in the boonies and get one over the air channel but better than zero. Too many trees to use the traveler. Ok, chainsaw may be the answer.

In the front cabinet I have three coax male connections. One is from roof top. Second Is portable. Third is out to receiver. In bedroom I have two. One is rooftop sat and other not marked. I tried taking the portable in NDB connecting to the receiver out NDB no change. Receiver in bedroom still says searching.

You say you get a good signal in the lounge but not the the bedroom...

Question: Do you have two Sat Receivers or is your sat receiver in the lounge area and the bedroom is "Remote" from it?

One of the things I often say is that many RV's are wired with a few miles of "Lowest Bidder" wire, this includes the coax cable. .Lowest bidder tends to be very high loss.. And if some skiled (not) tecnician put a staple, nail or screw through the coax, or failed to crimp the ends on well enough... Well, this only makes it "Lower cost/quality"

If you are running a dual LNB antenna and multiple receivers, you have a bad coax or connetion.

There should be a place to hook up the dish in your electrical or sewer bay, wherever you plug into cable. My Itasca had a two hookup points. One labeled "cable" and other "portable satellite dish". I also have roof dish.

That is where I hooked up and then went to the front compartment and changed the receiver coax to portable. Great picture on lounge TV but no sat signal on bedroom receiver. My question: is this normal or is there another(additional connection I need to make. Or is there at least a method to get what is on my lounge tv to duplicate in bedroom?
