I should also mention that once HD started (2006) OLDER domes(ALL brands) could really only receive SD programming. So, there were constant updates starting in 2006 to the few Domes that could possibly be updated. REAL PITA back then and expensive. Kingdome had a update box and we charged $100 for that. CW had a MINIMUM of $250 to connect a Laptop and attempt to reprogram KVH (premier even now Boat Sat in motion) to function. They would NOT guarantee that the patch fix would work. Add to this that both Dish and Direct were beaming off multiple Sats for both HD and SD and it was a real pain. People did not like the fact(me too) that you had to have a Dome that would Auto move between the various sats when changing channels. Then add to the fact that lots of RVer's had 2 receivers and if the Master receiver moved the Sat when changing channels the other receiver lost its channel. The BEST solution even now is the Winegard Travler system. NOT in motion but gives the best possible reception for multiple receivers. Both Dish and Direct. Doug
PS. I like the Winegard Carryout system for when you are parked where the roof top cannot beam in the SW horizon.
