We have Direct TV at home and have put one of our boxes in the RV. When we set it up in the driveway it worked fine, but every other place we have tried it we have had no luck.
We get to the setup menu just fine, satellite setup goes great and reads OK on 101 and 119, but the receiver fails. We have tried resetting by unplugging but the thing just searches unsuccessfully forever for a signal.
Called Direct TV--checked the signal on each transponder--only receiving on the even numbers not on the odd numbers. The Direct guy says the multi-switch is bad ( or there may be a loose connection somewhere in the wiring).
Do we just get Camping World to check it out and fix it or do you have a better (less expensive) solution??? Thanks all who help with their experience and expertise!!! We appreciate it!

Thanks--I have emailed them and hope for some advice there.

"Problem" solved. Called CW. He told me to try set up on transponder 11 instead of 2. It worked beautifully! No multi switch problem or anything.
