Need advice on dish network system for roof
I am in research mode looking to purchase a roof mounted system for Dishnetwork. Which system would you recommend and which receiver? Thanks, Craig __________________ 1999 DSDP 3858 with Cat 3126...

The best performance available to the RVer using satellite TV will be had with an antenna like the Winegard Trav'ler (open faced antenna). This option allows you to use any receiver or receivers, DVR(s) or the Hopper. It's the same antenna used at home converted into a mobile format.
If you wanted a dome style antenna that would allow use while driving (the only reason I see any more for buying a roof mounted dome) then there are a number of choices from several manufacturers but some are limited to specific receivers and none will handle more than one receiver or a DVR the same way you would be able to use them at home. No dome can receive the DirecTV HD programming but since you mention Dish, it would be able to get all of the Dish programming (one satellite at a time).
