Introduction Congratulations! You have purchased one of Winegard’s latest developments in the mobile satellite reception product line —the Movin’ ViewTM. This system, used with your digital satellite receiver, will deliver the best reception possible using GPS (Global Positioning System) and precision gyroscopes. How Does Digital Satellite TV Work? Satellite programming originates from an “uplink” facility on Earth — the facility receives many signals from different sources, combines the signals digitally and transmits to the satellites. The satellites (22,300 miles above Earth) receive the uplink signal, amplify it and then transmit it back to earth in the Ku frequency band. This signal is concentrated and reflected to the LNBF* located at the “focal point” of the dish. The LNBF amplifies and converts the signal to the 950 to 2050 MHz range. The signal is then passed through a coaxial cable to the receiver where individual channel selection and processing take place. * Low Noise Block Converter Feed UPLINK SIGNAL PROGRAMMING UPLINK CONTROL CENTERS For Programming information call: DISH NETWORKTM - 1-800-333-DISH (1-800-333-3474) DIRECTV® - 1-800-DIRECTV (1-800-347-3288) ExpressVu TM 1-888-SKY-DISH (1-888-759-3474) Your new Winegard RV Digital Satellite System is an easy- to-use satellite TV reception system. Because it mounts on the top of your recreational vehicle, it goes where you go and provides quality reception of digital satellite signal in the continental United States only.

Install in DRY conditions only! IMPORTANT! Do not install this system in the rain, or under any wet conditions. Moisture may affect electronics and void your warranty! 1. For best performance and to reduce signal acquisition time, park vehicle on a level surface. 2. Select a level spot on your roof for installation. • The unit should be no more than +/-1° off level. • Be sure no roof-mounted equipment is blocking the satellite “line of sight.” • You will need to decide where the wires will enter the vehicle. A coax and an 18 gauge power wire will need to be placed in the vehicle. The power wire will go to the nearest +12 VDC power source; the coax will be routed through the demulitplexer to your satellite receiver. These wires should be hidden. 3. Remove screws holding dome to base and remove dome. Place dome in safe spot to avoid damage. Place base on vehicle roof in the location selected. 4. Remove wire ties used for shipping. There are three; one on each side of the reflector and one at the the rear of the reflector holding down the counterweight. See Figure 1, page 4. 5. Determine which programming you will be using. This will determine how you set your switches. For DISH NetworkTM set switches to 119°. For DIRECTV® set switches to 101°. For ExpressVuTM set switches 092°. If you have trouble seeing the numbers, try using a magnifying glass! 6. On ...
