Small Dome Satellite

I asked this question in another forum and got very minimal info so I'll try here.

I am looking for the satellite brand of choice that would meet the following criteria:

Very small to fit the limited footprint of a Bvan Roof

Must be HD, a Dome, compatible with Dish Network and permanently mounted to the roof

Folks what would be your choice.

  • "Does anyone know the brand satellite that has a very small circumference as in 6 to 8 inches and about the same height? I have seen em just don't know the brand.

    I also want to hear about that one.

    Hi big whitey,

    You're probably somewhat knowledgeable about this subject?

    You have no need to park in the shade, under a tree and watch HD?

    Small? Does that mean height? Diameter? Stealthiness?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for responding Bud. Simply put I am ONLY concerned about the best satellite available that meets the criteria stated in my post: smallest best performing BRAND that is HD,compatible with Dish Network and can be fixed to the roof.

    Thanks

    My choice would be a Dish Tailgater Portable antenna and permanently mount it to your RV. It only weighs 10 lbs and if you setup the mount so it can be attached to the RV or easily removed (unlocked) you would be able to move the antenna away from obstructions


    Finally after 2 days and two different forums asking I finally get "A " recommendation.
    Been like pulling eye teeth to get an answer to a straight forward question.

    Thanks for your input Bear !!!
