Thanks, everyone for you're input, I guess I will start looking at what DISH has to offer in the coming months, It's is too bad DirectTV has to play these games, from the sounds of things they're going to be a lot of UN-HAPPY CAMPERS IF DIRECT Doesn't step up and do something!! no pun intended.
DirecTV will not do anything for campers. They never have and they did not invent the domes. They don't sell them, market them or support them.

What does a lot of unhappy campers translate to? A number of users in a CG compared to millions of home users? IMHO there is virtually no RV market to consider.
Times are changing. Have you noticed the decreasing number of cars that can be flat towed? Have you notice the big push on 1/2 ton trucks with their very limited tow/haul capability? Seen any pay phones lately?
