Just bought a Dish Tailgater satellite!!

Hook up question on my 8528 IKWS.

Can satellite be connected to outside terminal or does it need to directly contact to receiver ( ViP 211z ).

Explain step by step. It doesn't say in directions booklet. Thanks[emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4]

Well that would depend if you have a dedicated input labled sat next to cable input.

I just got done dealing with this myself. For more info than you want or need see: http://www.forestriverforums.com/for....php?p=1499152

If there is a day connection. I use a thin one at one of the Windows to get my signal. So far so good.

[A32Deuce]

Sat connection in your bay.

[OswegoLion]

What do you mean by Bay?

[A32Deuce]

Do you have a Sat., Cable connection outside or in a compartment/bay.

[OswegoLion]

Outside I have 2 connectors. 1 labeled cable and the other satellite. In the front I have a single connector with no label.

[OswegoLion]

From Bay sorry.

[A32Deuce]

Mine are inside a comp./bay.

[OswegoLion]

Ok what next?

[A32Deuce]

There should be a connection inside near the tv. Connect that to,the dish box then HDMzI to the tv. Turn everything on and follow the on screen directions. I don't know what tailgater your have or where you are, but my handle I point toward the North and east to set up.

I have Jack King antenna.....can't get one station to come in...can anybody help..I am brand new to camping and just bought a new camper...

[FirstTracks]

Joeslots, that's an entirely different topic. I therefore suggest that you start a new one.

[OswegoLion]

Thanks Deuce. I have the Dish Tailgate VQ 4400. Directions are same here handle north and east set up.

In Oswego New York for summer near Lake Ontario.

Same kind of connection. Can not go through cable connection. Sat. won't work. You have to set tv to HDMI then follow set up on the screen. If all else fails, call My Dish. They are great to work with.

[OswegoLion]

So I should connect to satellite connector outside. How do I connect receiver to satellite inside.

[A32Deuce]

Sat. Connection outside with coax. Inside should have a Sat. Coax connection, that goes to the box, then an HDMI connection from the box to the tv. Turn on tv and the box, go to input on tv and search for an HDMI with the Sat set up screen.

[A32Deuce]

If that does not work try right from the tail. to the box then tv. One times the sat on the RV does not work. Not saying yours won't, but be prepared just in case.
