Satellite issues

I cannot get my satellite, dish pathways x2, to connect on the inside of our trailer. I can go outside and hook it up directly, no trailer, connections and it works fine. This was never an issue on our old trailer.

Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many of the trailers have splitters in them for routing to multiple TV locations. Even if you only have one TV location most of the splitters are not compatible with many of the drop down dish setups as they cannot pass the power through them to power the unit. No my trailer was fine with only having one TV location but I needed to rewire it away from the power booster which prevented me from using the satellite dish. It was also not even hooked up in the ceiling where the connection was.

We have 5 satellite connections inside the trailer, so I'm figuring that's the issue. Without ripping out all the walls, how do I access the splitters?

Mine was right there behind the hookup. But with 5 hook ups you will probably only get one working.
