hello,
I've owned my 2009 travel van for about six months. It came fitted with the satelite TV system with a Maxview MLX 002 dome secured to the roof. When I turn on the system the dish automatically whirs in to action searching for the satelites. Unfortunately it never finds any so no signal is found. It shows on the TV screen the last software update was 2006 and that software is "up to date", but this cannot be the case.
There is no USB connection to make any update externally and Maxview, in an email, said the system was obsolete. I find this hard to believe, especially as Maxview state on their website that " Maxview offers free lifetime software updates for all our automatic satellite systems."
I was told (at a recent motorhome show) that it should be possible to update the system within the dome itself. Has anyone else got this system working ?
I don't need to watch every to station there is so just a few basic channels would do!
Thank you in anticipaaaation of your advice, SF

This might help with the problem - and it confirms that updates are never needed.

Google is your friend :).

We have the same Maxview dome as your selves, when we bought it 2nd hand it worked fine, then after a few months, it did the same, just searching but not finding anything, we manually go into the settings and search some channels, I think we should get more, but finding just a few helps.
let us know if you get yours sorted @Sherbetfountain

Hi Tony, what is it that might help the problem, or is there something I'm missing ? I've put every format I can think of in to google and it hasn't helped so far. Thank you anyway.
