The Winegard RoadTrip T4 (not T14) antenna is not comparable with Hopper or Joey receivers. What's your receiver?

The RoadTrip T4 User Manual has the correct setup instructions and a good trouble shooting section. Are the receivers set for SW64?

That thread is 4 years old and that issue has been corrected. I have found on several occasions I have had to do a check switch 3 or 4 times to get all satellites. Even then I've had to reset the receiver a few times. We have set up camp and on occasion it has taken over 2 hours to get it to work correctly.I replaced the dish last week with the Winegard Travell'r. I now get everything all the time. I can even do a manual setup on 61 if it does not see 110 119 129 and get everything I am subscribed to on the 61.
I had a King Dome on the rv and also have Pathway X2 portable.

Unless you go through the Check Switch routine described in the manual and get a successful SW64 switch you will not be able to get all of the channels. Follow the instructions exactly. If you are using more than 1 receiver you must be sure each receiver is connected, one at a time, to the Main output of the satellite and the Check Switch routine is run.
I also assume you are referring to the T4, not 14.

Bill,
are you refering to the Winegard manual or the Dish set up?

Ok I went through all of the set up procedures, and I still have no signal. I've checked the connections and the switches are switched to the right positions. I've made it worse by doing the set up procedures and now have no signal at all, were as before i has some channels. I appreciate everyones help. I'll call Winegard on Monday and see if they can help me figure something out.

You say you changed the switches on the receiver. I hope you meant the dip switches on the T4 satellite. After changing the switches on the T4 satellite, you need to run a check switch on the dish receiver.

Yes i changed the dip switches

Yes i changed the dip switches

What dip switch setting are you using? Where are you located? Are you sure you have the receiver (only 1 receiver, I assume) connected to the MAIN output from the dome? Remember that only 1 receiver can control the movement of the antenna between the 3 satellites and the 2nd receiver will be limited to watching programming coming from the same satellite selected by the master receiver. Both receiver must be connected, one at a time, to the antenna using the MAIN coax output and both must show the SW64 switch when the Check Switch is performed properly. After that, they can be connected to separate coax cables (no splitters allowed) coming directly from the dome. The 1 receiver connected to the coax coming from the MAIN output on the dome will be the master receiver and the only receiver that will get any programming any time. The 2nd receiver will get any programming coming from the same satellite.
