OK- I was hoping that I could just hook the tailgater into the Sat Prep connection on my trailer, plug the receiver into the wall and HDMI from the receiver to the television. This was the first thing I tried and no signal to the receiver.
then I knew from other posting on this forum that some people had problems with the antenna booster so I unhooked the jumper and then plugged the RG6 from the bottom connection into the receiver (HDMI from receiver to TV already hooked up - as well as tailgater RG6 into external Sat Prep connection on my trailer). Boom! worked like a charm!!!!
Now my only dilemma is to find a good way to secure the tailgater to the top of my trailer in a strong winter storm. This past couple of weeks, we have just been setting the tailgater on the picnic table and strapping down with a lock and a couple of straps and bringing in at night.
I got one idea from a couple that had two tailgaters on their slideout. They backed out the screws (4) in the tailgater a little, attached 80 lb test and tighted the screws. then they placed 4- 10 pound weights on each of the 80 lb test line.
Should work..... we'll see
Happy Camping!!!
