t-4 in motion

so I got with direct tv today and ordered another receiver for the motorhome. they caught me off guard when they asked wether I wanted wired or not.whats the differant
  • However, no HD with DirecTV and a dome as the OP is posting about. The dome is also going to lose at least from available programming early next year if DTV stops SD broadcasts as scheduled.
  • We have a primary DVR in the front of the coach, and the rear receiver is a wireless add-on. They create an internal private network and the rear receiver picks up the signal. The advantage is that you can have HD in both the front and rear. I think that if the rear is wired from the primary DVR, I am not sure HD is available. Regardless, they have to figure out how to get a wire back there, and I was not interested in a bunch or holes being drilled. You could also run a separate main receiver in the rear but you would have to feed it directly from the dish, whether it be a roof mount or outside ground mount. Hope this may help, Happy Trails Bert

    DTV offers receivers and "clients". The clients can be wireless. If you want a receiver for your RV then you must get a wired receiver and NOT a wireless client.

    The biggest difference is one is wired and the other one is not. :B...Dennis
