Nope. Though there is a picture of that one in the booklet that came with mine. I'm thinking that maybe the booklet was for the one on that site?



In that case, here is the link for all the manuals for DTV (not HDTV) satellite receivers used by DirecTV. You'll need to know the brand and model # of yours to find it.

There is a very simple diagram that shows the hookup of a coax-only 2-wire hookup in each of the manuals that I viewed. Very straightforward and easy to understand.

All I needed to know was where the TV out was and I found it. Hunter helped. The red and yellow wires won't be needed. My model isn't on that web site. It must be brand new. It's a D11-100. Different in front from the one you showed me and the ones on the web site.

Also, here is a link to an article entitled "Satellite TV for your RV", complete with diagram.

That's my friend Mark's site. That's really basic stuff, Steve. Did you notice that the Dish dish had only one LNB? He did that years ago before he got the full time job at Escapees. Great guy.

I've been using satellite TV in RVs since 1996. I have no problem understanding how it works or how to set it up. I've installed DTV and Dish Network receivers in my RVs all by my little dumb self. I can point a dish with the best of them (well maybe not Lon <g>) but this little box with all the colored wiring really threw me.

Now that I know I can use two pieces of coax, like I'm used to, I'll be fine. I know which one is TV in and which one is TV out. It was the TV out side with all the three-headed wires that messed me up.

Thanks for all of your help and patience.
