Morning 73 Degrees, Wind W at 2 to 3 Mph, Humidity 82%, sunny.

We were out of the site just before ten-thirty and hooked up Tan Jan for the travel back to North Carolina. Very busy traffic driving out of Myrtle Beach this morning. About twenty miles out the traffic calmed down until we arrived at interstate ninety-five. When we arrived at the interstate Buster filled his diesel fuel tank. The tank was three quarters full but topped it off so we will start our next trip with a almost full tank of fuel.

We have been having problems with out satellite television, recording programs and receiving channels. There are issues between Dish and the Winegard antenna. Dish will not do any work on the antenna. While we were at the state park we did not have live television as there were too many trees too close to Buster to receive a satellite signal.

Here there are trees (high) but far enough away for a signal. Another issue is resetting the cable box is time consuming and stops any program or recording while that is being done. At times we could get and record a channel and not receive or record another channel. If we reset the “box” the channel would come in, that’s why I wanted dish to come and check their equipment this morning.  Normally we can receive or record three channels and watch a recorded program, at the same time. We were able to watch recordings while parked at the Myrtle Beach state park and when not receiving a satellite signal.

The coax on the left has been chafed

After the sun started behind the trees my son-in-law got up on the roof to look at the antenna. We were going to switch coax cables that Winegard had told me to try to see if it corrected the problem. It seams like it worked and he noticed that the cable was chafed. I sent off an email to Winegard seeing if they sell replacement cables for the LNB.
