Connecting Winegard Traveler to Dish Hopper
Hello All, My apologies if this has been addressed, but I can’t find any information with a search. My old Dish receiver bit the dust, and I’m now trying to connect the new Hopper to my Winegard roof...

I’m not clear on how to connect the DPH42 to the dish. The RV Tech who installed my Winegard system has always done great work with attention to detail. He ran one of the lines from the dish to the Winegard box, the second line plugs into the Dish receiver, and the third line is unused. Your wiring diagrams never indicate how the Winegard box is wired, or maybe they do and I’m just not seeing it.
On the base of a Winegard Travler, there are several connectors like so:
A, B, and C in the photo above get connected to the DPH42 switch.
The Interface Box cable connects to the Winegard control box.
Since some DISH receivers (like a Wally or 211) only need one coax connection, that's all that was run on your RV.
However, Hopper 3's require different connections.
