Kingdome/Directv question

[cpd520]

We have a new to us MH with Kingdome (model 9702 I think). I am totally unfamiliar with the workings of the Kingdome and found the paperwork that came with the MH less than helpful.

I ordered a second Directv receiver (model D12-700C-R)for use in the bedroom and MH. The installer set up the receiver in the bedroom and paired it up with the HD receiver/recorder already in the house.

After he left, I took the receiver out to the MH and hooked it up. The connections were well marked so I am comfortable that it is hooked up right. I do see the Directv screen on the TV.

I held the on button on the Kingdome for 4 seconds as directed on the box. It flashes green and red for a couple seconds and then flashes red. By sound, it is searching, just never finds anything. After about 12-15 minutes I turned it off for fear of burning the motor up.

How long should it take to find the satellite? Is there something else I should do or be aware of?

Do you have 2 cables from the Dome?
One is the Main. Which is what the Dome gets its info on. Other conn. is AUX.
We use a DVR with these 2 cables.
So make sure both your rec. are set for DirecTV and 18" round dish.

Also make sure Dome is set for your location. Check map for your area.
Also go to KD web site. For more help.

Thank you for the help. We now have satellite.

You have to change the settings in the D12 from house antenna use to RV dome antenna use. You will want to go into the setup an select 18" round and multiswitch. Once it locks continue to the end of the setup until you get to Watch DirecTV and you are done.
