Dome Satellite

So I have an option to add a Dome Satellite for 1200 on my RV.

I currently have Dish Network and am wondering if this would be compatible. I am open to all versions of the recievers.

My son is a Dish Network tech and says he can never get RV's to work on the dome dish's and always has to set up his own at the site. And alway see's the same for DirecTV dishes as well, always set up on tripods at the parks never using the dome.

Anyone have any info on this? Does it work while driving as well?

SLIDEx,
Well Sir, no reflection on your sons capability as Satellite tech but, as you can read, many people use domes out there and they work just fine, and, as stated, as long as there's no interference in the way. But, a tilt up dish will also trip-up if the signal is interrupted by a tree, building etc. The quality of the signal is usually pretty good to with the smaller dome types. Does it mean they're perfect, nope but, they do a good job of bringing in the signal as long as there's no technical or mechanical issues with them.

I thought our King Dome was done when it quit finding the bird and locking on to it. I was about to drop back and punt when, a fellow member on here told me my K/D was still good but, all I had to do was tell it to search and, use my screen on my TV as a signal finder and scale.

Well, I tried that and, it works flawlessly. So, anyway, I think you cannot go wrong with either one. I'm not sure about using a tilt up when traveling so, others will have to answer that for you. Good luck.
