My wife just read that Direct TV is dropping SD programing by April 2019, and RV's that carry a box from home will have to get a separate contract, and their own HD box, and satellite.
Looks like my $500 Winegard will be worthless.
The home system is going wireless, and will be upgraded also, so any SD tv's will not be compatible.
I think it might be time to change to Dish network.
I do the same, I just use a receiver from home, and the small oval dish on a tripod. I will deal with it when it happens. I have the latest, and greatest from Direct TV, plus a new smart TV at home. In the fifth wheel I still have the original TV, which is going on 11 years old, but still works well.
