Dutchman,
what type of trailer do u have..i have a 35 ft 5th wheel, challenger, with a Sat. hook up on the outside.... how would I hook up the dish to two different receivers.. have to go thru the window n screens?

yes, sadly Dish requires a separate wire from the antenna to each receiver.

DirectTv LNB support is one wire, but their antenna's are expensive to get HD (who watches SD nowadays?) and their service policy stinks ( no monthly, turn on/off).

I've never tried hooking 2 receivers up to my Tailgater. Actually I haven't thought about it. When we bought our camper, I'm pretty sure the dealer was referring to a normal dish (like on a tripod).

So, I guess I could use my Tailgater on the trailer living room television, and run a separate wire through the floor to the outside, grab one of the other receivers in the house and plug in this old but faithful guy:



Not to sure I'd ever do that, but curiosity has the cat right now. So, someday if you see an Outback camper with a zillion satellite dishes and wire strung all over their campsite ... it might be me!
