Winegard Roof

Hey everyone,
On my new to me motorhome there is a G2 Winegard satellite dish set up on it.
I cannot for the life of me, figure out how the coax is wired from the winegard unit to the tv's.
I hook up the receiver from the output of the winegard unit to the satellite on the receiver. Then I have a converter that converts the the component jacks and plugged the component to the receiver and have tried every combination of coax in the entertainment bin but cannot get the direct tv to appear on the tv?
The component adapter says either channel 3 or 4 but the tv wont recognize 3 or 4 as a channel.
What about the jack that says from roof satellite?
Does anyone have a diagram on how these things are set up?
Help.
  • I pulled the cover off the top bin and behind found a component cable plugged into a hdmi adapter. I located the hdmi cable and plugged that directly into the receiver. Still nothing. I tried component, hdmi, and and antenna.
    I do not have access to the back of the 48" TV in the galley so that is where I stand.
    Thank you for this post! You guys rock.
  • You do have access, you just need to figure out how to get to it. Since you don't know what's plugged into the TV, everything else is worthless until you can check the cabling.
