Just purchased the Winegard Dish Sattelite system and try to figure out why the system works when I do a direct connection from the Sattelite but when I hook it up using the connection from the outdoor Sattelite hook up through the bedroom to the receiver, it cannot get the signal?!can anyone advise on what the problem could be.'

Barry,

It sounds like you may have the wrong coax hooked up. Do you have a coax tester to verify the cable at each end? If not, you can use a multi meter using the continuity setting. Bring the cable from the antenna into the bedroom and test the coax going into the receiver by holding both leads of the multi meter to the center lead of the coax. If it tones out, the line is correct. It may not work if it is a line with a splitter (intended for park cable).

You need to have a direct run from the antenna to the rig. From the rig direct to the receiver. HDMI from the receiver to the TV. TV input needs to be on the appropriate HDMI input.

Hope that helps.
