What is considered Satellite ready
A friend just purchased a Thor ACE 29ft Class A. All the brochures and website listed the unit as Cable/Sat ready. When we try to connect Dish network to the incoming terminal keep getting error mess...

pardon what may sound like silly questions but....does your friend have a DISH network account? is there a DISH TV satellite dish connected to the sat receiver? have all of the various and assorted cables been installed???

yes
yes
cables installed? We are going on info provided by Thor that the unit is ready.
However there is only one connection on the wall for incoming cable. Thinking maybe Thor had a unit slip thru that isn't sat ready as they advertise. Connecting directly to both TV's the satellite is going in about two minutes.
SAT ready may mean different things to different companies. ideally all your friend needed to do was add a sat dish. but if the 'cable in' port is not connected to the DISH TV receiver then you're going nowhere. and as far as I know you can't connect the dish directly to a TV...you need a receiver box between the TV and the coax cable. does your friend have a DISH receiver?
