installing Dish receiver 2019 I 5 30FW

[Dick Skeers]

We picked up our coach in late May. t came with an in motion satellite system but no receiver or distribution box. We have since picked up a Dish receiver and a 1 X 4 HDMI splitter. our cabinet has one each blue, green and tan HDMI male connectors, plus two male tv cable connectors. Can someone pls tell me where they connect?

I don't know that we have a schematic...but they are color coded. So you should be able to look at the back side of the TV's and see what is what.

One should go to the outside TV, one to the front TV and one to the bedroom TV.

Thank you for the reply. Does anyone know which one is from the satellite?

[bclemens]

???? HDMI cables don't come from the satellite. Coax cables come from the satellite. Those are the (2) TV connectors you mention.

Ahaha.
thx

Also the Satellite dish likely came set for DirecTV. You will likely need to change the Dipswitches for Dish Network. If your in-motion is a Winegard. The switches will be under the dome on the roof. On one end of the Circuit board.
The code is from left to right. All up but #8 and for Dish it's 4-7-8 down.
as to the cabling issue, their are so many that I wouldn't know. Sorry.

Looks like the old trial and error approach is needed here. Using the coax cable you have a 50% chance of getting it right the first time..

Thanks, i am a self-conceded incompetent regarding all things electronic. this type stuff has already been done on previous mhs. But, i am slooowlly catching on.? maybe. So, if i understand, with one receiver, i connect one of the coaxes to the single input on the Dish receiver and everything is good as long as all tvs are on the same channel? if we want to be able to watch 2 different stations simultaneously, i need to get another receiver? but my 1 X 4 splitter only has one input port??

For what it's worth, this week we will head east (from Bellingham, Wa) through Canada to see the fall colors and my biggest concern is being able to see the Pac-12 network.

thanks to all for your assistance

The Pac 12 (and Roots) are in the extended regional pack on channels in the 400 series. I called Dish last month and they added that "pac" for $12 a month, for 4 receivers. Roots is on channel 412-16. I live in Bow.
