Television Satellite Dish Control (Optional)
The RV may be equipped with a TV Satellite Dish control system (Figure 4-8) to permit
access to satellite television. If your motor home is equipped with an optional satellite
dish it is capable of receiving High Definition (HD) satellite signal from Dish Network.
However, you must subscribe to HD service and install a HD receiver. Factory installed
satellite dishes must have a HD receiver in order to obtain a clear picture. Your satellite
dish will not receive High Definition programming from Direct TV; however, it is capable
of receiving standard definition programming from Direct TV’s Satellite 101.
Follow the directions in the Owner’s Manual for this dish-control mechanism to obtain
the best orientation of the satellite dish for desired television reception. Remember,
that any additional movement of the motor home after the satellite dish control has been set may possibly cause
degradation or loss of satellite-television reception. In this case, please re-adjust the satellite dish to re-align that dish
for optimal television reception.
Television Sets
Your motor home is High Definition (HD) ready and is capable of receiving
channels that are broadcasting in High Definition. In order to receive a clear
picture from your satellite dish, you must install a high definition receiver
and subscribe to high definition (HD) service. Your motor home does not
feature a manual switching box; therefore in order to change from satellite
to DVD or TV antenna, please follow the directions listed below:
To change the mode of your television, press “INPUT” on your remote
control. Then select TV, DVD, or Satellite, and press “OK.”
NOTE: The booster must be “on” for ANT (a green light will appear) and
“off” for the cable. The booster is located in the front right cabinet of your
motor home.
The television sets (Figure 4-9) are located in different areas of the motor home. Some are standard TV sets and some
are optional TV sets depending on your specific floor plan. All TV sets are High Definition. The televisions are
powered by 120-volt AC electricity; therefore, the motor home must either be plugged into an external source of AC
power or using on-board power from the generator. An inverter would also permit the 12-volt DC power to be
converted into 120-volt AC for the television(s).
Detailed operation of the television(s) is provided in the accompanying owners manuals found in the Owner’s
Information Package included with the motor home. Generic operations of the television would include a basic
“on/off” switch, volume “up/down” control, channel “up/down” selector, and menu “up/down” selector—these
functions are found both on the television set itself and on the accompanying remote that comes with the
television set.
If the motor home has been wired for satellite TV, there should be an interior jack or jacks and an exterior jack
to connect the satellite system. Consult your owner’s manual for the satellite system to determine the correct
connections to be made.
