Dual Antenna

Some Domes are duals but...With DISHnetwork domes do not dual well (Explanation follows) and with Direct they do not do HDTV.

DISH type antennas are usually Duals. and will work find provided you get the correct dish,, Epically ground mounts.

The promised explanation:
WIth Dish Network they spread programming over 3 satellites (Birds) and if you want to watch a program on say 119 and your partner wants to watch a program on say 110.. Joy will not be yours with a dome since they can see all 3, but not at one time (one at a time) Dishes have multiple LNBs and can see all 3 (if you get the proper dish) at once.

DirecTV is on 101 W, all on one bird,but DircHDTV is in a different frequncy band which domes can not receive.. So again the DiSH type antenna works fine.

Direct tv has a box that will combine your locals too but you still need a separate antenna.

Winegard sells a crank up manually aimed roof mount satellite dish that has an OTA antenna attachment. The attachment is one of the "RoadStar" omni-directional antennas though, making it not a very good choice unless the local towers are always pretty close to you. That's the only "combined" sat/OTA setup I'm aware of. You would likely be better off with Winegard's Sensar (batwing) OTA antenna that includes their Wingman UHF enhancement and a separate satellite antenna, perhaps one of the portable automatic aiming models for maximum flexibility. Which model would depend on which service provider you want to use. We use the Dish network sat service, and have no problems changing our service location as we move about the country to receive the local stations serving the area where we are.

And with Dish that puts the locals in the guide so you can see what's on.
