Television Satellite Dish
The RV is equipped with an in-motion TV satellite dish control system (Figure 5-2) to permit access to satellite television. The satellite will be equipped with a high definition Direct TV receiver.
The motorhome’s satellite is capable of receiving High Definition (HD) satellite signal from Dish Network. However, you must subscribe to HD service and install a HD receiver. Factory installed satellite dishes must have a HD receiver in order to obtain a clear picture. Your satellite dish will not receive High Definition programming from Direct TV; however, it is capable of receiving standard definition programming from Direct TV’s Satellite 101.
Follow the directions in the Owner’s Manual for this dish-control mechanism to obtain the best orientation of the satellite dish for desired television reception.
To set up your satellite receiver for Dish Network (Factory Configuration):
- Remove the satellite dome cover on top of the motorhome by releasing the screws around the dome.
- Change dish settings to 4-7-8 by adjusting the dip switches to the DOWN position (8 is already in the DOWN position).
- Re-install the dome.
The Dish Remote:
- Press MENU.
- Press the no. 6 button.
- Press the no. 1 button.
- Press the no. 1 button again.
This will bring up the Dish screen. Go to the right-hand column where it says “CHECK SWITCH.”
Once this is done, EXIT the system, then press 0-0-0 to download the information.
Television Sets
Your motorhome is High Definition (HD) ready and is capable of receiving channels that are broadcasting in High Definition.
In order to receive a clear picture from your satellite dish, you must subscribe to High Definition (HD) service. Your motorhome is equipped with an automatic switching box that enables you to easily change between TV input modes.
To change the mode of your television, press INPUT on your remote control. Then, select TV, Blu-ray, or Satellite, and press OK.
| NOTE: The booster must be ON for the antenna and OFF for the cable. The television sets (Figure 6-3) are located in different areas of the motorhome. All TV sets are High Definition. |
The televisions are powered by 120-volt AC electricity; therefore, the motorhome must either be plugged into an external source of AC power or using on-board power from the generator. An optional inverter would also permit the 12-volt DC power to be converted into 120 volt AC for the televisions.
Detailed operation of the televisions is provided in the accompanying owner’s manuals found in the Owner’s Information Package included with the motorhome.
Television Lift
| NOTE: The inverter must be ON to use the TV lift function. |
Some Allegro Buses come equipped with an optional TV lift in the living room area and the bedroom. (Figure 6-3, Figure 6-4, and Figure 6-5).
The Television Lift mechanism can be operated by pushing a button on the Spyder control panel on the wall (Figure 6-6) or by pressing the buttons on the television lift key fob (Available in bedroom only) (Not available in model 45FP) (Figure 6-7).
Infrared Repeater
The Allegro Bus features an infrared repeater which enables the owner to utilize the satellite remote control from various areas of the coach. An infrared repeater will be located in the bedroom and by the overhead TV located in the driver’s area. If your Allegro Bus has the optional outside entertainment system, this feature will be located on it also.
To utilize the infrared repeater, locate the one inside the cabinet that contains the DVD player. Peel the adhesive backing from the back of the infrared repeater and line the infrared repeater against the satellite receiver’s infrared repeater. This will allow the infrared repeater to operate when the satellite remote control is directed toward the infrared repeater situated next to the TV.
You will now have the convenience of changing the satellite receiver channels from various areas of the coach.
