As most know, I have added a third AC. I have also installed the Progressive Industries hard wired unit. I recently had a "triple" hitch installed.
Today, I complete the install of a Winegard Trav'ler for DirecTV.
Not a hard install, just took some planning. I wanted the cable to enter the roof in the bedroom bookcase area, but I didn't have sufficient space and clearance there for the dish.... this thing is larger than I thought. I ended up mounting the dish "midship".
I then drilled a hole from the book case access through the roof (small hole) to determine feasibility.
Once all looked good, I used a 1" drill bit and drilled from the top down into the book case access.
From there, I simply routed the cables and used cable clamps to secure them to the roof. I then secured the Winegard cable surface mount plate...
I ended up with a working dish. The control unit is currently sitting in the book case, as I didn't have enough of the power cable to get it to its ultimate destination (in the front closet). I will order the extension and take care of that when we return from our trip.
The cable is ran from the book case into the basement. From there, it is connected to my DirecTV splitter that is mounted on a wall in the basement. The signal is split from there....
