I've been thinking of buying a winegard GM 9000 automatic carry out dish and mounting it on the roof in place of my old dish. Do these have the ability to pick up all directv channels? I don't care about the HD I just want to get all the channels I used to get. I use the receiver from my house it's HD and hooked up to a 3 transducer dish. This same receiver use to work with my old dish until they went to HD. I would be grateful for any info.
No, no dome can get you all of the DTV channels. I haven't used one lately but you will only receive the channels available on the 119 satellite. You certainly will not get any kind of Network programming (local channels) and I suspect there a very limited number of channels. This assumes the dome will still work with the receiver you plan to use.
To receive all available programming you would need to get one of the automatic roof mounted units (Winegard Trav'ler or RF Mogul) which are quite pricy or a tripod mounted home DirecTV antenna that you point manually.
