also note...i talked personally with WINEGARD about the dishes and depending on what satellite you have, the Montana 3790's series do not have enough amperage from the rig back thru the receiver to the dish.

As others have noted and I found also, the X@ (which I have) takes 13 amps to run it correctly going thru the CC. If not enough amperage, satellite wont work unless hooked up directly to the receiver.

WINEGARD told me that KEYSTONE (especially Montana) did not put big enough wire in the system to sustain the correct amperage. They suggest (I believe) RG6 (?) wire. Hope this helps somewhat.
