Dish TV installation

[thecampingcat]

Greetings all! A little help from my friends..
New pathway 2 from dish with two receivers...Greyhawk 31fk televisions in center of rig and brdroom...ran coaxle from dish to outside coaxle port in storage bay.then coaxle from Port behind tv to set top than HDMI from set top to TV...no luck with or without little green light on swith plate on or off...ugh

[nbhybrid]

which port behind TV. Is there only the one?

I don't know how MH's are done but on my trailer the port with the green light is for the roof antenna not the outside cable inlet.

Aux/sat the other one says tv and has a coaxle screwed on I was thinking that runs to the bedroom tv

[nbhybrid]

isn't there 2 in the storage bay. Sat and cable

I assume if there is you are screwed into the sat coax input

[thecampingcat]

Only one in outside storage marked 75ohm

[nbhybrid]

I would just screw into each of them you see there and do trial and error..

the great thing about coax connections is you can not hurt anything by hooking up to the wrong thing.

What are you getting on the TV screen?

I assume your input on your TV is set correctly

looking at google hits for the greyhawk shows them saying there are 2 cable connections in the storage bay....maybe stuff was changed throughout the years

2014 Greyhawk, I get a Dish message indicating complete signal loss..which is weird because I'm connected well enough to get a Dish error message

[thecampingcat]

I will be contacting a satellite installation specialist and will let you all know how it goes

Can you take pictures of your connections? I don't have a Greyhawk so trying to visualize it.

[thecampingcat]

I can shortly..thanks..basically plate in storage has one coaxle port marked 75ohm..plate behind set has two, one marked tv with a cable attached(looks to be going to rear tv) and the other marked aux/sat

Someone correct me but I believe if you want to feed a second tv on the dish you have to use a specific dish network diplexer.?? I bought one off eBay for my bedroom but both TVs are on same Channel. Controled by 211 box in living area.

[thecampingcat]

I'm unable to get one to work starting on the port in the storage bay

[thecampingcat]

How do I get my 211 to work in the living area accessing the only coaxle plate in the outside storage bay marked 75ohm..thanks mark

[Ustabslim]

I had so much trouble with my tailgator I just ran the coaxial thru the rubber in he slide out stright to 211 box, split it and run a coaxial to the rear.

[thecampingcat]

That's what I thought...I'm going to look to custom with a fellow on home advisors.com..it bothers me that on new rig it's not easier to accomplish this..perhaps the installation professional will have some insight

did you unscrew the cable marked Tv(looks to be going to rear tv) and hook the dish receiver there?

[Grumpy]

Are you using a splitter or running 2 wires? As Texashighsheriff said it has to be sat specific. Also the wire needs to be RG6

[thecampingcat]

Yes...same result..with little green line and off...and rebooting the box each time

[thecampingcat]

Right now just trying to get one set to operate starting from outside the rig..and I'm using the cable they provided..actually I am using a cable I purchased at home depot to go to receiver from wall it is 75ohm not sure if it's rg6

OK..Padrig the satellite tech who came on a days notice was terrific! First I was trying to input in the out put for the patio tv... Found the correct coaxle in electric access door..bonehead thread candidate.. glad hour came though because he snaked power cord installed did player and synced bedroom tv..long story short custom install plus some tips on how best to secure a signal in some tree cover...the 31FK's wired nicely for satellite as it turns out and remote even works through flip down door with glass panel without opening it..couldnt be happier! Thanks to all of my Jayco friends as well...turns out as my Father says.."Its easy when you know how!)
