Had a buddy ask me this question as he just bought a '14 TH 5er. Came w/ a DVR player but wanted to know if he could take the DVR player from his house (it's Dish or Direct satellite), put in his 5er and watch it instead of the one that's in the 5er? Told him I'd ask as I didn't know and we hardly watch movies as it is in camper wether it's a VHS or DVD. News, NASCAR or perhaps a tv show--that's it.

Yes, "if" the sat antenna (either on the roof or a portable one) is compatible with the DVR. The antennas are brand specific, but some can be "reconfigured".

So if his DVR is a DISH DVR and the antenna on the rv is DISH, then the answer is YES. But if the antenna is DIRECT and the DVR is DISH, then NO.
