How to get Direct to talk to Wineguard, help.

Yep, see the answer on the Tiffin forum.

Whooooo hooooooo got it!!!!!Thanks for the help!
I found sat 1 wire and the magic happened......
Now there is sat 2 wired to rear tv. I tried it by moving receiver from front.....is there a way of getting around having two receivers?

You are not going to "wait to get here", this is where you must start! Do this after you connect the coax but before you power on the antenna.
However, on the Tiffin forum you indicate that you have not even found the coax cable from the roof mounted antenna. You cannot do anything until you find the coax from the "main" connection on the dome.

THERE'S THE ANSWER! Your H25 cannot be used and your H24 is setup for SWM. That the only way the receiver would say "Do not install B-Band...) I will re-post the answer I left for you on the Tiffin forum.

Nothing else matters here other than the SWM settings. Since you have an H25 (SWM only), then the H24 is also setup for SWM. You will never be able to use your H25 with the current setup but there is a kit you can install later. For now, put that aside.
Now, you will need to go into the H24, ensure it is connected to the dome primary coax (usually Sat 1), go to Repeat Satellite Setup, change the Switch type from SWM to Multiswitch and change the antenna type to 18" round (oval is an option but this is a better place to start)..

Im not being jerky and I will try it. When I called Winegard they said their unit was choice 3 18x20.....
I have made it this far last night...I came up with all zeros when signal strength was checked....I will check again I just figured I would tell ya everything.
I very much apprectiate your patience and help!

Go to Signal Strength and then Signal Meter. Now, power on the dome and allow it to lock to 101. Once you have a good (70+) signal on 101, transponder 1 you can exit and then click all the necessary Continue buttons until you get to the end. You may see errors or missing boxes but just keep going. You will finally get to the end where it say Watch DirecTV. Once that's done you should be able to watch DTV. As mentioned you will need to go to Menu, Display, Preferences, Hide HD or Show all channels to allow the reception of the SD channels. Anything you see that says HD will show a loss of signal message.

I cant wait to get to this point.

You can NOT get HD with this antenna
Have you changed receiver set up to 18" round and multi switch
Change switch first-sometimes hard to get it accept changes from swim set up

Yes the plate could be from Winegard.
Does the wall plate have a small switch on it? Does it have a cigarette lighter style receptacle?
Do you have a roof top over the air antenna?

You need to make sure that the cable coming out of the wall does not go through the antenna power supply for the roof top over the air antenna.
Verify that the cable you are using is the one that goes to the dish and not from an exterior satellite hook up or cable hook up.

I will double check...but it says winegard on the wall plate.

Does the cable (coaxial) go directly from the antenna straight to satellite "IN" on the receiver?

The first connection coming out of the wall. I skipped the a/b box.
