Please help! Trav'ler SWM3 install with Directv
i have spent the last two hours pouring through posts similar in subject to mine but cannot find anyone that seemed to have the issuer i have. i had the Travler SWM3 installed today in my RV and i have two inside TVs and two receivers, one in my main area and the other in the bedroom. the main unit has a H23 reciever and i have HD programming working just fine on it! The bedroom however is another story as i can get SD programming but no HD! the receiver in the bedroom is a H24 and I'm assuming since the setup is SWM, it doesn't need a b band converter, correct? i did actually try to add one but i lost signal all together when i did so i removed it again. Any idea whatsoever what may be causing my bedroom reciever/TV to not detect the HD channels? Appreciate any feedback and suggestions you may have Owen1.1KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Need Help with multiple TV connections in new fifth wheel!
Really appreciate the great info. no on explained to me that Directv HD was only available with the trav'ler so that was indeed my first miss. AS for the receiver, i ordered a new HD capable reciever from Directv and the one they sent me only has an HDMI connection and no coax out so given that i can't get HD programming with the dish they installed, would the picture be any better if i had used a SD receiver instead or should the HD model give me the same SD quality? just curious also you had mentioned turing off the power supply to the OTA antenna ...any idea where i would find this power supply ? i don't recall seeing one for it Thanks again for all your help!

I'm hoping someone on here can help me. i just purchased a new Landmark Newport that has three TVs(all HD capable). i had the dealer install a Winegard 4000T in motion satellite and supplied him with a new Directv receiver. he is telling me there is no way to get directive programming to all three TV sets, even if its the same programming. I also then find out that there is no HD capability with Directv..can someone confirm this is accurate? my unit is parked in an RV park which has cable supplied to my lot. based upon what I'm being told , I'm having to be ok with standard programming on my main living room 42" TV which has a terrible picture. i hooked up the cable form the park to my unit thinking i could at least get these channels to the other two TVs but for some reason when i auto search for channels, it only shows up 2-3 channels and then for some reason they seem to disappear overnight . so here's my questions. is there anyway to get HD programing with Directv and my in motion winegard satellite? and is only standard is available, is there any way to pipe it over to the other two TVs in my rig..my receiver only has hdmi output and my rig is wired with coax? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm a sports fanatic and not having access to HD is killing me!!! Look forward to hearing from anyone who has experience with this type of setup!
