King Dome in motion satelite dish

I have a 2009 Tiffin with the original on roof mounted King Dome. Went to use it a couple weeks ago and was having trouble connecting to satellites I have a DTV system. I called King Dome and the tech told me this King Dome system no longer works with Direct TV as of March this year. . He said that DTV has done something to their satellites and they have no fix. Have to buy new system. Has any one had this problem with their King Dome? I believe it still works with Dish Network.

    Why would anyone need more than DirecTV 101? I assume you just meant to say that it won't work with Dish but should work perfectly with DirecTV.


    OK where can one find the full channel listing for direct 101/119 and what receiver is best for the 2008-09 era in motion kingdome
    Model 9760 and any idea where to buy a De-stacker to run two receivers?
    thanks
  • Not sure why you sent me a PM when you posted the same question here, but here's the reply to your PM.

    First, you are not going to be able to install a de-stacker setup with your dome. You need to run a separate dedicated coax from the antenna to each receiver.
    As to the channels, every SD channel broadcast by DirecTV is available on the 101 satellite. Any receiver other than the H25 or Genie should work just fine. If you will only use this receiver in your RV with a dome you could try to find a D12 receiver (SD only). Otherwise, you can take any receiver from the home to the RV and hook it up.

    In the manual it says that in order to run two receivers on a 9762 king-dom I need to purchase a de-stacker.
    but if its a 9760 I don't and if its a 9762-LP I don't soo I will have to make sure exactly what I really have here
  • Only King Dome could provide you with a destacker if that's the way they setup the antenna (with a stacker LNB). That dome is quite old so if King Dome can't provide it I doubt you will find a source. Good luck.....It was never a good system (the destacker option).

    thanks I just changed my post(see above) I will have to wait and see exactly what model I actually have. I have owned the Mh for over 5 years and never used the sat system but our so called 5 star resort after 9 years is too cheap to pay for proper cable programing so TWC put a filter system on the main hub and we lost a lot of channels and get zero HD capability and plain crappy SD signal and then raised our HOA fees (long story not happy)
