You need to get rid of that splitter in the the water area, or don't use it for satellite use. This was a big problem when I bought my rig. The dealer hooked the Dish to a splitter thinking it would be easer than running a new cable to the control box. A satellite dish needs 12volts that it gets from the RGB cable. A splitter will not let the 12 v pass through.
