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.

That is NOT correct. Dish made changes to their system but DirecTV did not. The problem would be real if you were a Dish customer. Nice excuse, just not correct.

What model King dome? Do you have a box that lets you select which of 10 areas of the country you are in?

Bill is correct. However, my KingDome stopped finding the DirecTV satellites no matter what I did. KingDome did help me set some of the transponders manually and that worked for a while, but eventually quit. I recently replaced it with a Winegard Trav'ler and couldn't be happier. It does not work underway but that's OK with us. Chuck

Yes it has the monitor that you pick the section you are at. I tried for an hour or more trying to get a signal. I did everything the same since the last time I used it with great reception. So your saying the tech is incorrect? How do you know this?

What receiver are you using. The Genie or a Genie Client and the H25 will not work. If it is a receiver from your home you will need to change the receiver setup (Repeat Satellite Setup) and change it from a SWM switch type to Multiswitch. Set the antenna type to #1 (18" round) as well. With the SWM setting the receiver will not send the required voltage to the antenna LNB.
