Yeah I saw that!! Good deal.

Mine is really old, possibly like 10 yrs old. I am having some issues and want to get a new one. Have they changed at all? ALso, is the one on Amazon the same as what Dish sells? Thanks!!

Oh ok thank you! That is kinda low, I guess I'll know when I get there. Thank you!!!

Ok I put in the actual position I will be in and got the attached.....

Oh, so I should be ok with my current satellite? That is good news!

Don't care about locals, don't need a satellite dish for that. I'm concerned with satellite channels. I will be near Lancaster PA. Thanks

Hi, I have an older tailgater that only aquires western arc sats. I am heading to Pennsylvania. Will it work there? Or do I need one that will get eastern sats?? Worried about the cost of a new one :( Thanks!!

Yup, that's what I think is the problem, a loose connector. Unfortunately mine are not easy to get to.

My RV connection has worked fine for 4 yrs! I am thinking a connector that I just can't get to (at the moment) has come loose from all the traveling. I just have to go underneath the RV, inside the enclosed underbelly and trace the cable.

UPDATE: Think I fixed it....started troubleshooting....cable first. Ran Cable direct to receiver instead of through the RV hookup. It worked! I can change channels as I did before with no issues. Unfortunately the problem is internal to the RV. I cannot get to any of the cable so now have to run...

Ugh!! Ok no that is not the problem. This has never happened before in all the years I've been using it. There is a problem and I am trying to figure out what it is. But thanks anyway.

So if I'm watching channel 120 then switch up to 202 and visa versa, it's a problem until I switch from 202 to 205 or 218 and back a few times. Same issue if I go back to 120 after watching 202.

I don't have a home install, and there isn't any center nearby to take it too. But some more observance..... If I am in the lower # channels and watching something and change to another similar lower channel, it changes fine. Now if I am in the lower channels and change to a higher # channel...

I never knew that little shortcut either, thanks. But, I still don't really have an answer to my original question. Is there any way to figure out which device is causing the issue?

I have actually looked at what sat current viewing channel us on then looked at channel 202, both same sat, same transponder, strength.
