Satellite Antenna Dish
The type of satellite dish, if optioned as the Villagio and Vienna come satellite prepped as standard, is called
an “in-motion" dish that can be used while your coach is moving or parked. These types of satellite dishes are
limited in reception of HD signals.
Satellite antennas are frequently referred to as dish antennas. The
automatic in-motion roof mounted unit, if equipped, tracks the
satellite signal while the vehicle is in motion and can provide TV
or music.
The antenna or dish is connected to the satellite receiver through a
coaxial cable for the TV signal and through a multi-conductor wire
cable for directional control of the dish.
Read the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for operating
instructions, proper use, and maintenance for all the different
components of the satellite system.
Satellite Dish Subscriptions
To use a satellite dish, you must subscribe to a satellite system before you will be able to fully operate. The
antenna unit initialization and satellite acquisition are automatic and does not require any operator intervention.
After turning on the television and applying power to the antenna, the unit will track the satellite.
Once you power up the system, the antenna will search for a TV satellite. Once it finds the satellite, it will use the
IRD (Integrated Receiver Decoder) data to decode the system and the antenna locks onto and tracks the
satellite. Passing through tunnels, under highway overpasses, and through dense urban areas can disrupt
transmission by denying the antenna a line of sight to the satellite.
Satellite radio tuner
Channels are broadcast from an earth station to a satellite that rebroadcasts the signal that covers the United
States through the turner. You must subscribe to the Sirius Satellite Radio service.
Have your individual Electronic Serial Number (ESN) ready when you call to subscribe to the service.
Satellite digital receiver
The dish is connected to the satellite receiver through a coaxial cable for the TV signal and through a multi-
conductor wire cable for directional control of the dish in the case of automatic units. You must have your access
card to be able to operate the receiver
