KVH problems

[jdaniel]

My 1991 has the KVH motion satelite on top and has always worked well. Sometimes it would lose programming and wouldnt lock on to a satelite and I could take it in to the local RV shop. They would use a laptop and somehow reprogram it and it would work perfectly again until I stored it indoors for the winter. There is no RV shop in town anymore and I can hear the unit spinning and "hunting" but when it locks on, about 90% of the time, I get no signal. I can turn it off and on again and hear it search again but usually with the same results. I have to carry a tripod with a dish now.
When I called KVH they just told me my unit was old and I needed a new one. They were NO help.
Any suggestions? I have Directv.
