Best solution for automatic aiming for DISH reception

I understand that my Kingdome MODEL 9760-9762-LP won't work with DISH network to receive Satellite 110, 119 and 129. I know I can buy a portable automatic aiming device, Tailgator or VuQuve? Ideally it would be a solution with the Kingdome short of replacing it. Please share your thoughts.

  • for our seasonal location, we bought a dish western arc antenna and tripod off ebay for less than $200 and it works great.

    Our roof mounted KVH dome, while it is programmed to recieve 110-119-129 dish satelites, is always a pain, and our seasonal site is heavily wooded, it only gets 119 there.

    It would seem odd your dome won't get the dish satelites, there should be a way to reprogram that unless it is very old.

    I know that replacing is not on your list, but in my honest opinion, for the few bucks more it would cost, replacing the dome with a Winegard Trav'ler would be more than worth it. A simple push of a singe button and the Trav'ler will get all three sats very quickly.

    Pulling out of storage, setting up the unit, running cable to the coach...then the reverse when you get ready to leave. Your call, but I love my Trav'ler....best investment I've ever done to my mh.
