Purchased a new 2019 Montana 5th wheel and was excited to use the new KeyTV hookup for my DISH satellite. It doesn't seem to work. Here is what I have accomplished so far:

1- attached satellite coax to SAT on KeyTV located in the outside of the camper
2- attached cable from behind tv to DISH receiver and then HDMI from receiver to TV
3- turned on both TV and receiver and set TV settings to point to the correct HDMI port
4- DISH could not locate any satellites or just timed out
5- called DISH and they never heard about KeyTV even though Keystone claims that it is supported
6- DISH rep had me run a cable through the front door and directly to receiver and everything worked fine.
7- contacted Keystone directly and after many emails and text messages the conclusion is that you should not use a cable longer then 10'.

My camper is 14' tall.

Any thoughts or ideas.my wife keeps tripping over the cable running through the kitchen.
