It's also possible that none of the TV coax connections will work for the dish due to TV splitters, lower quality cable, etc.
Do you have a portable dish or rooftop dish? Regardless the best approach may be to run new coax. Determine how the wires need to run for your model. For my last setup it was direct dish to receiver, while the current setup is dish to dish controller to brick to receiver.
Generally it's DIY or hire a tech that understands both satellite and your rig.
Posting dish, receiver and TV model numbers should get you more input.
Thank you all....it will be a portable dish. Very good advise.
