What Dish Are You Using For Satellite TV
We already have a DirecTV account and will be using a Standard Def receiver. Being new to the RV world, we're wondering what others are using for a dish. We need to make a decision as to whether to us...

Thanks for the input. I'm trying to decide if we will start off with a portable like a tripod set up initially, since for a while we will be only using the RV on weekends and vacations. Later when we are using it more, I can add a rooftop system. Or should I just install the rooftop and be done with it. That's the decision I'm trying to make and understanding what is working for others might help me make that decision. Also what units to consider. I have been a marine service tech for 40 years and have installed satellite systems on hundreds of boats. But I'm finding RV's, while similar, also have some distinct differences. Chuck
If we only used the MH on weekends and a vacation I personally wouldn't bother with sat at all. Because we have dish and a hopper at home I record everything we wish to watch than (before I had a dedicated hopper in the MH) would just take the receiver to the coach, plug it in and watch the recorded programs. I'm sure Direct TV has a comparable unit.
Baring that I would go with a carry out or something similar and worry about the roof top later when we would be taking longer trips.
