Please help....... This time please send me a picture of the back of your
Receiver. It's been since last summer
Since I connected it.

Sat in and tv out that's pretty much it.

If it's an HD receiver or HD-DVR, there is no "out to TV" coax. it only has RCA, S-Video, Composite, or HDMI capability to connect to TV. HD and most receivers including Genie have one Sat Input, HR20's through HR24's have two Sat inputs, but Sat 1 input is used only with a SWM setup.

You could get an RF Modulator to convert from RCA/S-Video to coax to a TV.

If your Directv box has been off line for awhile you might need to give them a call to reactivate it.

I would agree with WOWZER. DirecTV has a very good customer service base that i have found and will gladly walk you through what you need to do for your model of TV. I have had great experience with them with my RV and my SWIM unit and they want to keep your business. Give them a Call.

for sure you will have to get them to reauthorize your receiver. You will have your satellite in and if it's an HD receiver HDMI out. we use the HDMI out hook up to the TV

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. We do use the direct box right from home and take it with us in the MH, so the was not the problem.
i called Direct TV like you suggested , and technical support were eventually able to get us going😃 happy thanks

It to the inside cabinet door for future references!

You can always call 1-800-DirecTV and at the voice prompt say "Refresh Services" or go here to your online account to refresh/re-authorize:

What antenna can be used with a Directv receiver from my house (if i understand you correctly) and where to buy such antenna? Thanks!

I use a Windguard anser purchased at Camping World.

Go on Fleabay and do a search and you will find some nice mobile dish kits .
