    Is the handle pointing north?
    Are the cables good?
    Are the RV cables good?

    Try going straight to the box from the tailgater with a short good cable. KEN
  • The small dish inside the tailgater can have a difficult time locking in all the sats if there are any trees or other potential obstructions. Frequently when I channel surf it will want to search again for sats.
  • The dome antennas can only "see" 1 satellite at a time. When you have the cover off and you change channels on the TV do you see the antenna move and point toward the different satellites? Are you using more than 1 receiver or a DVR (bad)? Are there any trees in the areas? The 3 satellites span almost 20 degrees of sky.
