mounting dish
We are former live aboard boaters. It became too much work and we decided to buy a class a RV. We have Direct TV and bought a Weingard sat finder. I've been advised that mounting the bubble on top may...

We have a Genie and an HR 24/200 in the house. We had an HR 24/200 installed in the MH. All three show up on my account summary on the Direct web sight in the same place. We are not using Genie minis because we record a lot.
I can easily swap the RV box with the other HR24 in the house and let the recorded programs load up. That's brilliant. If I just swap the boxes when we come home I should be able to take my recorded programs if I'm understanding you correctly.
Direct would not let me buy a receiver fro the RV.They told me I had to buy from Wiengard if it was being used in an RV with a Traveler Dish. Turns out the boxes are identical so I could have just had Direct send me one. We were commuting 60 miles each way to the dealership and Wiengard just sent the receiver to the dealer for installation. Your suggestion will solve the problem I think.
The Wiengard control box shows 99, 101 and 103 on the panel so I'm sure it's seeing all 3 satellites.
Genie did not exist when we had a receiver on the boat. so that may be a factor. We had 4 standard boxes. It is possible that the Genie technology changed the way they saw each other. I promise, our receiver on the boat 150 miles from the house had everything we recorded at home.
I'll try it the way you are doing it tomorrow after the Direct guy leaves if he can't make it work. I still see no reason why the receiver on the MH won't see wifi when my PC, Roku and iPhone do.
We do have the full programming o the MH that we have in the house. If the memory travels with the receiver, I can deal with that just by bringing the MH receiver inside and booting it up on a connection inside. That's a minor issue if it gives us our recorded stuff.
Sorry my explanation was muddy. I really appreciate you helping me figure this out.
