lartross Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I tried using my cobbled together eagle dtv 321, power inserter pq21r1-03 and converter d 120 700 from the spare bedrooom at my house to acquire a sat signal in my 5th wheel. Using a signal meter, I get a definite peaked signal, but when I check it inside, the converter shows no signal. Does the converter need to enabled from dtv to function as a stand alone unit? 2003 Coachman Chaparal 276 RLS 2000 F250, 7.3l auto ext. cab 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCW Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Are you trying to use the typical single TV coax connection to get the signal inside? If so the typical one cable system connected to the wineguard plate and over the air antennae will not pass the satelite signal through. The one that dies with the most toys is still dead!

lartross Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I ran dedicated rg6 lines to each tv [bedroom and living room] 2003 Coachman Chaparal 276 RLS 2000 F250, 7.3l auto ext. cab 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark and Dale Bruss Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 The question was, are you using the Cable connector to brings the satellite signal inside? If you are, then thatcoax cable needs to be disconnected from the OTA amplifier wallplate.

lartross Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 No, I'm not. I ran two new coax's with 2 new connectors from the outer wall to the 2 tv areas. 2003 Coachman Chaparal 276 RLS 2000 F250, 7.3l auto ext. cab 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lartross Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'm not real clear on how swm works...does a special brand of splitter need to be used to get multiple output from a line for say a dvr? Just one power injecter is needed, right? and does it need to be on either/or lines If the sat finder indicates good signal strength, does that mean the lnb is working correctly? Why does the sat finder indicate good signal, but the converter show no signal? I'm running from the ant, thru the signal meter to the trailers input connector, thru the power injecter module, to the sat in on the converter, to the tv. Is that right? Do I need to put the power injecter on a separate, isolated line? 2003 Coachman Chaparal 276 RLS 2000 F250, 7.3l auto ext. cab 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lartross Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Ok, I've learned the antenna I have does not have a swm in it, so, I ordered a little smw. I have the power injector on the other coax [bdrm one]. Will that be ok? Any hints on how I can determine if the lnb is working? 2003 Coachman Chaparal 276 RLS 2000 F250, 7.3l auto ext. cab 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
