I am trying to get my direct tv receiver and dish to work mobile for camping. The receiver is not digital,it's an RCA the dish is the small round dish. I can usually get it to work at first but after a few minutes the signal strength will be very good but the transponder strength will not stay consistent, it bounce from 0 to say 99

You still have an authorized RCA receiver? I thought DirecTv had changed over all the old receivers to their own brand. They did mine years ago. I didn't think anyone had a choice about that.

As to signal strength, is the dish in a secure mount? I had a buddy who made a mobile dish setup by mounting a pole in a 5 gallon bucket full of concrete. If you are stable and still getting signal fluctuation I would suspect either the LNB is going bad or the receiver is.
