Well I think there might be some good news that possibly I can use the “auxiliary” coax input in my utility center. There are 3 inputs, Cable / Satellite / Auxiliary. I came across a post that references the auxiliary as providing a feed to the bedroom and basement outlets. I have an outdoor kitchen, so I suppose it feeds those as well.

This was the first time in my life I was planning to read a manual after a purchase but quickly found out the owners manual on this 5th wheel is just a waste of trees.

It automatically seeks out the satellites which are in the southern sky..........have never had a problem doing it that way as long as there are no obstructions.

Yeah, this is what the one that's coming just point and the dish will find it.

Can you guys with DirecTV recommend setup. My DirecTV at home uses a SWM.

Do you have this that was recommended by javan?

I use a king dome on a tripod and yes SD is all I get but happy with that.

My 5th wheel is a 2006 so not wired for satellite, so just added a connector on the side of the trailer closest to the Sat Box. Yes had to drill but not traumatic.

I don’t get it, DIRECTV is supposedly stopping standard definition television in April of this year. But they are still selling all of the satellite dishes that only get standard definition I am very confused. Does anybody know what’s going on.

I want a sat system for my RV but I'm concerned that I read direct TV is dropping sd programming. Anyone else hear of this?

That set up is ok but I use a much sturdier surveyor's tripod that I purchased off TV4RV.com. You can get a large dish with swm lnb from just about anyone who has abandoned or switched their service, or moved away. I just take a compatible receiver from home and have a separate hookup on the side of our 5th wheel that connects direct to the tv and bypasses all the crappy trailer wiring. I have been using this for a lot of years with no problems and never been in a spot I could not receive HD programming.

Okay, I pulling out what little hair I have left on my head. I'm trying to hookup my second (bedroom) Wally. I have the Pathway X2 which supports two receivers. I ran a second cable from the X2 to the "AUX" on the docking station. The coax receptacle in the bedroom has two connections, satellite & cable/tv I tried both and get no signal. I also tried cable on the docking station instead of aux and still no signal. Is there anyone with the X2 that has a receiver in the living room and one in the bedroom?!

Duh! It really helps when you choose the "source" on the TV remote!! There it was.............HDMI2-Wally. I have never used this particular receiver since it was new over a year ago. It's going through a software update which can take an hour. Will see what happens. BTW, I have the coax hooked up to "cable" in the docking station and the receiver hooked to tv/cable in the bedroom.
