We did find that it is wise to purchase a Winegard satellite finding meter. It is especially useful when trying to locate the satellite from outside of the RV and TV. We have a tripod along with 4 foot of 1.25 inch heavy walled PVC pipe and a dish to use outside, as well as a roof mounted one that can be set up from inside the RV. The outside one is used when the roof dish is blocked from receiving the satellites by trees or other obstructions, which happens more often than I thought it would. When the tripod is set up outside, I insert the Winegard meter in the coax line where the short coax, from the dish, is intended to be connected to the cable that enters the RV. It makes for very short work of setting up the dish aiming. It is removed after getting top signal levels. Another major difference between satellite and cable TV is the coax that needs to be used. RVs and homes are wired with RG-59 coax. It is very sufficient for cable TV or resending the amplified TV antenna signal to other places in the RV. The satellite dish antenna connections must be RG-6 only. This type of coax is better constructed and has a much larger core wire. Some RV dealers will install the dish coax lead with a portion of the coax run being RG-59. This will work under good circumstances, but low signals levels will be caused, giving you troubles while other RVs around you are receiving well. What this means is that one cannot simply plug the coax from the dish to the normal cable connection on the RV. That simply won't work. First, the dish signal is digital and will not pass through the normal RV preamplifier, which is for analog use only, so it would need to be bypassed. With that in mind, how does one get the new RG-6 coax into the rig and at the point where it can pluged it into the back of the receiver? We have a motorhome. We routed the coax from the receiver area which is above the passenger seat, through a windshield post, under the dashboard, to under the hood. From there we use a male to male connector to attach the longer RG-6 coax that will run to the outside dish. We roll up that long coax on a reel designed to hold long extension cords. That avoids kinks, which is a disaster to satellite reception and a pain in the neck to store. If your installation kit comes with a length of RG-6 having a grounding wire with it, strip off the grounding wire. Most RVers will never use it and it gets in the way as well as making it almost impossible to roll up the coax. Most new installation kits have dispensed with the ground wire as a part of the coax anyway.
