Basic RoadTrip Mission Antenna Wiring TV COAX RoadTrip Mission ANTENNA RECEIVER POWER SAT IN COAX 120V POWER 12VDC To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming— The RoadTrip Mission antenna will toggle between the primary or alternate satellites for either DISH Network or DIRECTV on the primary receiver. Both satellite programming providers have programming on more than one satellite.
If a switch other than SW64 appears, or you have an ‘X’ in one of the boxes below the satellites, repeat Check Switch Steps. 5. Your system is now set up to toggle between satellites. It will automatically move to the correct satellite when a channel is selected with your remote control. NOTE: Once these steps are completed, you won’t have to perform this test again, unless Check Switch was performed on another satellite dish, such as a home dish.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM The RoadTrip Mission antenna does not attempt to find a satellite or it never moves. The dish never stops on any of the signals that it sees. SOLUTION 1. Check +12 V wires at unit to verify the quick disconnect is locked into the socket. 1. Make sure that your receiver is set up correctly. For DISH NETWORK, the check switch should read either “Unknown” or “SW64”. For DIRECTV, the receiver should be set for a Two Satellite Oval Dish.
