Has anyone ever done this? It's whoopin' my tail.

Want a do over on all that "Can't I just install it myself" talk?
Sometimes I think I drink alot, then I see, like, the Motley Crüe behind the music, and realize I'm a huge *****.
Screw a hole in the top of the trailer for the cord and a cinder block to hold the dish down during high winds.
YW
If I had a manual, instructions or directions I'd be set. The other guy on location that has Dish will be here around 5. He'll help me out.
The wire running from the dish to the trailer is RG6. It has a little wire kinda piggybacking on the coax. Does that need to be grounded? I also get thrown for a loop inside the trailer as there are two coax cables with male ends and they are not labeled. This system is a two room system but uses only one receiver. not sure if it will work in a trailer.
We do this every Saturday for the tailgate. While drunk. With a 90 mph wind blowing and a couple chicks helping out. You must be a retard or something.
HEH

Did your receiver come with a DishProPlus separator? If so (and you have DishProPlus LNB on the dish), you'll only need 1 cable coming from the Dish to the receiver and then the DPP separator will split the cable into the 2 inputs on the receiver. Then you'll need a cable running from the receiver to the 2nd room (this cable doesn't have to be RG6 as the signal is already amplified by the receiver to reach other parts of the house/trailer). The extra grounding cable on the RG6 probably won't matter. If you can ground it, fine, but it needs to hook to the utility ground if you do (or a separate grounding rod pounded into the ground).

separator - check
LNB ?? No clue, the dish has two thingys on it
I also took a dealio that was screwed onto the house just in case I needed it.
At the house the receiver plugged back into the house wiring and in my bedroom I didn't have a receiver I just plugged into the cable outlet and picked up the signal that way.
I'm gonna post pics.
from dish to external trailer hookup
inside of trailer (external hookup is 10 feet away, it's not a straight shot)
stuff. the top thingy was attached to the house and the extra thing on the coax attached to it and then there was a ground also. the dish cable connected to it and also the house wiring was connected to it.
OK, for the LNB (the block that sits on the little arm in front of the dish) - If it says DishPro somewhere on it, you'll have to run 2 separate cables from the dish to the receiver and connect them to the 2 sat inputs and you won't use the separator. If it says DishProPlus, you'll only need 1 cable from the dish to the receiver and you will use the separator to feed the 2 sat inputs on the receiver.
Here's the way it should look (if you're using DishProPlus stuff):
you're pretty. Are you single?
No, and besides you're not my type. I'm only interested in Somebody Else. Clearly you're not up to that level yet.
Well?
After seeing your pic, I know your problem (well besides the retarded one).
You can't do satellite through the cable hook-up on the RV. I've tried on mine, and I don't know if it's a different internal cable or what, but only cable TV will work through the jack on the RV. I have to run the satellite cable inside hillbilly style through the winder or door.
hey, who fixed it at the last tailgate? that's right. it was I.
Whenever a boy comes you should always have something baking.
So, Soonerbrat is one of Phil's trolls? Who knew?
no, after all but 3 of us went to the game, the stupid thing wouldn't work. i unplugged and replugged it and it reset and then it worked. I'm a genius.

A blonde who can unplug and replug a cord most definitely borders on genius.
well none of the guys could make it work. i won't name names.
