I'm thinking about having a Satellite Dish installed with Dish Network as my provider. I found out on the "pay as you go" plan you have to pay 30 consecutive days even if your only gone a week during any month. What are most of you doing regarding Satellite or TV in general. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Take the direct tv receiver out of the spare bedroom. It doesn't know it's going for a ride to fun places.

I have Time Warner for everything. I just don't like the fact that if I'm gone for a short period of time I still have to pay for 30 days.

This is the best option for anybody who doesn't want a one or two year contract with a satellite provider. I don't expect they'll change their policy because you don't like it.Bruce

Pay as you go, don't know what that is. Why do they have to know it's in an RV?

I had Dish Network for a couple of years and it took considerably longer to find the satellites, than the normal few minutes or less that it takes to find the Direct TV satellite. Of course if you get too far from home (200 miles or so?) you lose your home area major networks, and can't pick up the local major networks where you are. I just use the roof antenna to pick up the local major networks wherever I am.I've yet to try getting HDTV on the road with Direct TV. It took forever to get the right satellites at home when replacing my standard dish with an HD dish.
