Having read most of the posts on this forum about Satelite dishes, I still have to ask for advice about a specific situation.
I have a 1997 Monaco equippd with the original Satelite dish. there is no name on it but the LNB is made by California Amplifier Model # 160070. It looks like a single band LNB. Between the provious coach owner any myself, the system has not been operated in the last 6 years. Before that, I have no idea.
When I got this RV, it had the 1996 vintage TVs in it. I replaced the front TV with a flat screen but have left the 1996 unit in the back (mostly because I have not found something to replace it that fits in the cabinetry etc)
From what I have read (if this thing still works), it will only pick up one Non-HD signal at a time and I will have to point it and elevate it to each situation. I know that I would have to get a converter box for either Dish or Direct.
How can I tell if this thing works?
Is it even worth it to keep it?
Is it better to replace it with another dish (for Direct) of a self pointing dome unit for Dish?
