Also the chat is great for updating your locals but they will not support RV tech problems over chat. You have to call.

Dish to a wall jack, wall jack to Reciever. Since I can't upgrade all my wiring inside, and the Tailgator came with the coax cable I'm using I have to eliminate wiring as the problem. Dish now thinks my Reciever is bad. Hopefully the new one gets here before we move on down the road.
As long as the Winegard dish on your roof is the Dish version of the Trav'er, yes, it can easily be setup to work with the original 3-tuner Hopper and Hopper 2. Using it with the new Hopper 3 takes a bit of conversion and fussing to get a signal to the 16 tuners.amyken said:the Winegard we have on the roof is supposed to work with the Hopper and the Joey. It just needs cabling (and splitter) put in. I can do all that on the roof and run one cable to the rear for the bedroom and one to the front for that TV. And bypass the Video selector of course. Also I was planning on using a portable dish in addition to the roof mount just in case of trees. and if all that doesn't for TV watching..Roof high def antenna.

Most likely you have a Hopper with Sling ("Hopper 2"). The Hopper 3 was only recently released and isn't in wide spread use yet.amyken said:HHHHmmm...now you have me thinking...I don't know which version I have. It's only 9 mos old ( the Hopper.. new to Dish service we are) ...and I just read that the Roadtrip (which is the version of in mtion we have) will not be comparable with the Hopper and Joey. We still will be using as tripod. But nice to have roof mounted when boon docking at a truck stop or Walmart for the night.
