Does the dish make any noise that indicates it is searching for the bird? If no noise can you remove the cover or otherwise verify that it searches and stops pointing at about the right direction?
Does the receiver have AC power? Some require a power brick and does it have AC power? And the brick should have a coax to the dish and one to the receiver.
Does the TV have AC power? Is the receiver connected to the TV via coax, hdmi, composite or componet cables including any sound cables?
Then there is configuration of the receiver for the type of dish and TV setup.
And a automatic seeking dish will have some type of controller that needs AC power. Make sure all cables are connected.
Do a search for an independent satellite guy that installs and understands RVs as related to satellite. Home installers may not have much RV knowledge.
