Evidently the King Dome 9704 upgrade is already on the market. A quick search of Google shows several sites that sell it. Also, the King Dome site shows the kit (which I know was installed in the 2006 and newer 37C) as available to work with the Directv Plus receiver. When I talked to King Dome last, I got the impression that there were no plans for a 5 LNB dome; rather, the system would switch among the satellites depending upon which programming you wanted. I haven't finished my conversion yet, but I yanked out the Zenith receiver/amp/DVD/VHS in our 2006 and replaced it with just a receiver/amp and a DVD player/recorder. My next step is to eliminate the controller box which in my opinion and experience has too much signal loss. I have found it easier to run/use every available connection direct to the tv when possible and do the switching with the tv remote system than the controller box. We have a repeater from the back bedroom to control the frt/rear switching through the amp. As I said several months ago, I don't belive any two of these coaches are wired the same after comparing mine to two sets of drawings from Fleetwood and three other same year 37Cs. Lastly, Fryguy is correct--the LG is the only unit I have found that fits correctly and neatly and has the picture quality. Kudos to him for leading way on this much need upgrade.
