We have a 2015 Tiffin Open Road, bought used and it has a Winegard
in motion satellite receiver on the roof, and a dedicated Direct TV
receiver in the TV compartment in our bedroom. Are considering
connecting Direct TV service, using the satellite. Will appreciate
any information or comments, good, bad, or indifferent. Thanks for
any and all comments.
That should work without much issue. If you are a current DirecTV customer just get the serial # and associated information from the back of the receiver and add it to your account. You can test the antenna (not receiver) on the roof by turning on the receiver and then the antenna with your TV on. Channel 100 should come through once the antenna is locked on even with the service turned off. You cannot receive any of the DirecTV HD programming using a dome but all the SD channels will be available.
You should join the Tiffin Forum as well. There is a wealth of information available about your coach and setup.
