Introduction

Congratulations! You have purchased one of

Winegard’s latest developments in the mobile satel-

lite reception product line —the Movin’ ViewTM. This

system, used with your digital satellite receiver, will

deliver the best reception possible.

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 fre-

quency 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

1450 MHz range. The signal is then

passed through a coaxial cable to the re-

ceiver where individual channel selection

and processing take place.

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 signals. Check with your program provider for

exact coverage area.

MV3500A features:

• Easy “one-button” operation

• Compatible with most digital satellite receivers

• Ability to toggle between satellites using remote

control, if subscribing to multisatellite programming

• Winegard warranty

1. Turn on receiver and television set. The MV3500A

must be connected to a receiver that is plugged

into 120 VAC.

2. Verify that you are getting the receiver’s menu

screens on the television. These screens are available

with or without the dish finding the signal.

3. Turn the power switch on for the MV3500A. The

dish will detect if it is already on a satellite signal. If it

detects a signal, the dish will move to check its alter-

nate satellite and then move back to the original

satellite signal that it was on.

4. If no signal was detected, the dish will begin its

search to locate the primary satellite. Once the dish

locates a signal, it will pause long enough to identify

which satellite it has located. This may or may not be

OPERATION (VEHICLE MUST BE STATIONARY!!)

visible on your receiver’s point dish screen.

5. After the unit has verified that it has the correct satel-

lite, it will move to check the alternate satellite and move

back to the primary satellite to complete the search rou-

tine.

6. If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting, p.11.

NOTE: Because the MV3500A uses information from

the last location that it was on a signal, satellite ac-

quisition may take longer if the dish is inactive over

long distance traveling.

DirecTV must be set to the “two” satellite, oval dish

setting. Refer to your receiver manual.

DISH Network receivers must have the check switch

set for “SW42”. See page 4.

To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—

The MV3500A will toggle between the primary and

seconday satellites for either DISH Network or

DIRECTV. Both have programming on more than

one satelite. When a channel is selected on the

remote control and is not on the satellite cur-

rently selected, the unit will automatically toggle

to the correct satellite.

DIRECTV programming

1. DIRECTV receivers must be set for oval dish 2

sat selection to enable toggling between primary

101°W satellite and alternate 119°W satellite

only. (Consult receiver manual for procedure.)

After receiver is set for the correct dish selection,

when you request a channel located on a differ-

ent satellite, the unit will automatically toggle to

that satellite.

DISH Network programming (DISH 500)

DISH Network receivers must have the “SW42”

switch installed in order to toggle between the pri-

mary 119° satellite and the alternate 110° satellite.

(Consult your receiver manual for the procedure to

reach the “check switch” menu.)

To install the “SW42” switch:

1. Before turning on your MV3500A system, make

sure that your satellite receiver and television are

turned on and your receiver is on the “point dish”

menu. (Consult your owner’s manual to reach this

menu.)

2. Turn on the MV3500A system and wait for sig-

nal acquisition on satellite 119°.

3. After signal is acquired, you have 6 minutes to

complete Check Switch test. Consult your receiver

manual for instructions on running this test. Be sure

that Superdish and Alternate are unchecked if appli-

cable. Onscreen options may vary by receiver.

4. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will

begin checking the switch by toggling between

satellites. When this is completed, SW42 will ap-

pear on the screen. It will be at the top of the

screen, satellite designations will be below, show-

ing odd and even transponders. See illustration.

If a switch other than SW42 appears, or you

have an X in one of the boxes below the satel-

lites, repeat Check Switch Steps.

NOTE: Be sure the “Superdish” and “Alternate”

boxes ARE NOT checked.

!Toggle: Your Winegard automatic

satellite dish will move from the

primary to the alternate satellite in

order to receive multi-satellite

programming.

5. Your system is now set up to toggle between

satellites. It will automatically move to the correct

satellite when a channel is selected with your re-

mote control.

NOTE: Once these steps are completed, you

won’t have to perform this test again, unless

Check Switch was performed on another satel-

lite dish, such as a home dish.

IMPORTANT! Do not install this system

in the rain, or under any wet conditions. Mois-

ture may affect electronics and void your

warranty!

1. For best performance and to reduce signal ac-

quisition time, park vehicle on a level surface;

level the RV.

2. Select a level spot on your roof for installation.

Using the chart,

determine the

minimum distances

to other equipment.

WARNING: Level the base front to back and side

to side. If base is not level the MV3500A may re-

quire more time to locate the correct satellite

or may not locate the correct satellite.

• Be sure no roof-mounted equipment is

blocking the satellite “line of sight”, Fig. 3

• You will need to decide where the wires will enter

the vehicle. A coax and a power wire (minimum 16

gauge) will need to be run into the vehicle.

WARNING: Many +12VDC sources can cause the

unit to fail. Select a filtered source, preferably a dedi-

cated line to the battery.
