1995 Liberty:
The coach has a Datron 4000 DBS satellite dish hooked to a Sony reciever. It seems to be living up to it's reputation as unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have rebooted etc but is always "searching". The red indicator light is blinking indicating all is not well.

Q1. Do any of you all have any great trouble shooting tips?

Q2. I hate to spend any diagnostic money on a system that old and would just as soon replace with a new system if the current one is not an easy fix. Discussion with a forum Guru indicates a preference for TracStar as a replacement? In motion cabability is not firm requirement. Comments? Recommendations?

Q3. What is the group think on color matching the dome? I am inclined to do so but does it have to be done immediately while still new. Any tips on prep for painting, etc. Should one just leave this to someone who knowswhat they are doing. Comments?

Thanks,
