We got a carry out and quit using the crank-up. 2 years ago I removed the crank and replace it with a carry out II on the roof, using the same coax. We boondock in the mountains quite a bit, and you loose cell service about 25 miles before our camping area. There is NO over the air TV either, so its either sat, or DVDs.

Your antenna was defective (likely the LNB but the crank ups get very loose and can swing on an off signal). This is NOT an issue with the 101 satellite or a working crank up antenna. A working crank up antenna works exactly the same as a dome style antenna (on DTV) and there is no issue with 101 and a dome or a single LNB antenna.
