Look around in a rv park and see how many Carryouts are still connected to anything but the coax cable. I have used this for 3 years and have never left the 12 volt connected once the satellite was found!
I went thru this same thing with mine. Sometime it worked with the 12V feed off and depending on the channels I was watching it would lose the signal. Definitely a local channel vs. long distance channel thing. Flip around a little and another channel would come on. Between the local-long distance channels and the relaxing of the sat. finder it is imperative that the 12V feed be connected full time. I found that a fairly brisk wind at Quartzsite could cause channel loss if the 12V was not connected. It would shake things just enough to allow some internal movement and loss of signal. Hook up 12V. and all is well.
