Hopper receiver with hitchhiker dish

I bought a new RV that has a hitchhiker dish installed. I brought my hopper receiver and it never sees the dish. The tech in the dealership said the dish is getting power and sees a signal at the end of the cable.

My setup at home, where the hopper originated, has a set up with 2 satellites. I was just wondering if I had to do a configuration change to let it see one dish instead of looking for the 2 that were originally set up.

    The fact that it lacks an RF connector to connect the output on a coax cable threw a wrench in my plans to run that signal into a splitter so I could feed my front and rear TVs. If I want to use the Wally for two TVs, I'll have to purchase an HDMI splitter and run an HDMI cable to my rear TV. I'm not picky, the RF signal I get through the coax cable suits me just fine. I hate running cables from one end of the MH to the other. Anyway, my Wally is just collecting dust these days because of the lack of that capability.


    $12-$20 at Walmart buys a composite to RF modulator that can feed your rear TV through the existing coax...
