Satilite to travel trailer

[yamierob]

Trying to hook sat to my travel trailer.When hook the coax to the inlet on the out side of the trailer and hook reciever to the cable outlet in side trailer it will not pick up signal from lnbs .But if i run coax directly to the reciever in trailer work perfect.Now if i hook cable vision to the outside outlet and tv to inside outlet cable vision work perfect.Anybody know why this is ?

Any chance there is a "splitter" that the outside feed goes to first?
For instance, do you have two inside cable hookups? Splitters do not work for satallite receivers is why I ask.

I was thinking the cable itself might be RG-59 instead of RG-6 but for that short distance it should still work.

if it is like mine there is a switch at the wall terminal for switching from over the air antenna (on the roof) to cable (inlet on the side of camper), mine will not let any sat signal through so I run my cable through the power cord hole

Its the cable itself in the trailers. They run RG59 cable which is no good for satellite. You require RG6. We run into it all the tie at the rv place I work

over a short span rg59 will work ok its either a bad conection or a built in switch

I had the same thing, take off the cover to the cable outlet on the inside of trailer. There is a swicth type of thing in there and it is not working. The cablels will be marked take the one that is not for antena and hook it to your sat box and this should fix the broblem. I drilled a hole and put in a secound conecter in the face plate on mine just for sat hoock up.

exactly its the switch not thats it is bad but it cant pass the frequency


cable is around 50to 1000mhs and sat is 2100 and up in frequency
