My RV came prewired for a roof-mount sat dish and has a single coaxial connection point on the roof. Is the RM-DM46 a single coax cable dish?

I don't know about that, Lou. I ran mine through the hole with the coax. I think that it would probably interfere with the mounting plates for the dish but didn't try so don't take that as the gospel.

Yes, just run it to your receiver and use the receiver to TV's to connection to your TV's.

There is one coax cable but also a cable to the display for the leveling system that has to be run through the roof. Of course you also have to cut a hole full thickness through roof to mount internal crank directly below dish base.

Luis, that is where I have mine. On the roof of my RV. The hole already existed for the previous antenna, but I had to enlarge it just a little. Comes with good instructions, all parts and a drilling template. It runs off 12volts.

Standard RG6 coax is the normal cable for satellite and cable TV. Most is rated 70 ohm and swept tested to 2200Mhz. The stuff you can find on Amazon or your local big box store is going to work just fine. The maximum run is 200 ft for this type of dish before it has signal issues.

I used mine all over my back yard and it kept searching. I placed it on top the rv and it worked perfect. Trees and leaves will interfere with signal. Under the dome, the code must be set to the service provider dish, direct. This is a great product.

This is an adapter that installs in-line with your antenna coaxial cable for installation of an aftermarket radio. This is not an antenna.

It has a mounting bracket that will attach to any pole or j-pole ( like a directv dish mount) you'll have to supply whatever will be connected to the RV, I'm guessing on the roof somehow.

Yes, ours came with everything to mount it to your RV including coax cable but you can also order just the antenna head or reciever with nothing else.

Only used it with the standard roof-mounted antenna. Always turned on power booster. Digital signals might not penetrate to a set of rabbit ears in an RV very well due to their radio frequency. Never tried it with "rabbit ears".

We have one VIP612 receiver and use the signal separator to separate the two satellite signals traveling over the single coax cable coming into the house. If you are attempting to feed two receivers from one cable, I'm thinking a signal splitter would do the job instead of a signal separator.

Do not know what is meant by standard cable. This cannot be used with Dish. I used coaxial cable RG 6 connected to my antenna. Hope this helps.

A coax simply attaches to the antenna. In the image, you can see it coming in from the base. It is then snaked up the hollow aluminum pole and out the pole at the top. Then the coax is attached to the unit. Keep in mind, the antenna is also an amplifier. It must be used with a Winegard switching DC unit in the RV to power it.

I'm sure it will work. I use mine on our boat with an older satellite dome, and it works perfectly. In our RV, we use a Tailgater system, which is powered through the coax cable. The satellite box goes from one to the other with only an initial scan & link required.

Hi Steve: The regular coax (RG-59) will probably work for short runs like in your trailer although DirecTV calls for RG-6. You will need an LNB and a DirecTV receiver and LNB in order to receive satellite signals from this dish. They are available with HD and DVR capability. Dont forget the LNB. DH

Yes it is a single connection. Once connected you have to call your cable company so they can register and activate it.

When we reach a campground, I turn on the TV and the DirecTV DVR, enter the location of the campground, and get the settings for the dish antenna. I use a tripod with a 2" mast to mount the dish. I use a compass to find a place near the RV where there is clear line of site to the satellite. The tripod is set up at this spot. Using the adjustment screws on the tripod, the mast is made as close to plumb as possible. Then the dish is mounted and the coax cable attached. Using the meters on the TV, the dish is rotated until the best signal is received. My wife monitors the signal meters, and we use walkie talkies to commnicate. The elevation is adjusted to achieve the best signal. In most cases, we can get 100% signal strength with 5 minutes. The secret to doing this procedure is to take as much time as necessary to plumb the mast. The antenna comes with a bubble level which is used for this purpose. It is best to start out on level ground, so quite often the tripod has to be moved around to find a level spot that has the necessary line of site to the satellite. The further north you go, the harder it is to get the line of site. We have been able to use the antenna across Canada and as far north as Fairbanks, AK.

No. I used the "Dish" mount that was left on my house when I dumped Dish. The antenna does include the hardware that fits right on the old dish mount.

This Website offers a lot of help with Antennas.http://www.k0bg.com/antennas.htmlMy installation was working before replacing the Firestik. I don't know how long my coax is. It's routed through the roof of an RV.
