I read the email requesting help with Satellite to bedroom. Does anyone have step by step instructions to get Satellite to the Montana period. Our Montana is 2005 and has Satellite box outside and inside cabinet above TV.
I have an extra Dish Satellite so I put it on a tripod and hooked it up to a TV outside the Montana? I took the Dish, found signal, hooked it to a TV outside the Montana. Bingo..... Perfect picture and channels. I thought this is great, simple! Thought to soon!
Next I hooked the cable to the outside of the Montana and a cable from the box inside to the TV nothing. Then I moved some cables around on the back of the TV and got the searching for signal display, and got picture. Fuzzy picture. Put it back on the TV outside the RV ... clear picture. Went back inside moved one wire on the TV .... nothing...put back the wire same as I had it with the fuzzy pic, nothing, tried for another hour or so... nothing... took the box back outside works! Gave up at that point before I was totally frustrated. Start over fresh and new another day. I did not have the booster in the bedroom on so I did try with that also, still nothing. Thought I better write to the experts before I fry something.... As you can see this is far from my specialty!
Thanks Bill
