Dish TV

I used to have Direct TV for my home service and when we took our MH on a trip I would take one of the receivers from my home and install it in the MH. I changed my service to Xfinity for reasons I won't go into.

My question is: if I buy a Dish receiver and use their on demand service when we travel, will the in-motion dish on my MH receive the Dish satellite signal?

    Most all of them do but we would need more information including the age of the dome. DISH changed the way they broadcast their signal and many of the older domes are no longer able to lock onto the satellites.

    You don’t say what in motion Dish you have. In many cases yes if the in motion can be re programmed to the dish satellites.. they aren’t the same that direct uses.

    It might. DISH 211 boxes can work with domes. If we had more specific info on your dish; age, model. etc someone may know. Or just buy a Wally and if it doesnt work buy a Winegard auto align Pathway X2 carryout for $400 and be dont with it.
