Direct TV hookup problems

Hello All,
Just switched from Dish to Direct. I have a Winegard stationary roof top dish. I changed the settings for the Winegard to accept Direct satellites. We had Direct before with this system and it worked fine. We now have an addition to the Direct system called a SWM. The screen keeps reading that the SWM cannot be detected. I had a Direct TV tech out and they don't do work on RVs or boats. He did check it out a bit and thought the cable coming down from the rooftop dish had failed. I replaced the cable and still no connection to the SWM. Thoughts?

If you have a "DOME" it will not work with DIRECT HD, leave the SWM out and see if you get SAT 101.

Hopefully this helps. I'm not an expert although I know the equipment compatibility is a little tricky. Best wishes!
