Sat connection not working?

We have a 2017 Laredo 330RL travel trailer. Docking station at rear of trailer has cable connection and satellite connection. I have Dish tailgater. I have tested both connections using park cable to verify that signal gets thru to both TVs (antenna booster is off and both connections are good for cable)- however when I hook tailgater to satellite connection - nothing works. It's like the signal between Dish black box and the tailgater does not have enough "umphf" to connect. Black box gives multiple error messages.

I have run a dedicated coax thru the outdoor kitchen to connect to direct to the black box and everything works. Basically I have a solution using the dirct cable connection, but I have to roll up cable and stuff it into the outdoor kitchen. I am bummed that I can't use the built-in for Dish. Any ideas what might solve the issue or increase the "umphf" of the signal (sorry for being so technical!)
