DirecTV on the road.
For the past several years I have been using the old round dish and old receiver. The receiver just went out. I was wondering what my options are now as far as dish and receiver. Thank you.

Does this one allow you to use the camera to view the satellites in the sky at the same time seeing if any trees are in the way. I have a Windows phone but I can install it on my wife"s Android phone, which she hates as she can't use her phone when I am using the app. ;-)
Thanks!!!
I think what you are talking about is the Satellite AR app. It only gives you a simulated camera view, not an actual camera view. It is useful when you are setting up and trying to stay out of the trees. I have used it several times for tracking the International Space Station.
I don't fool with changing my service address, if I'm out of the local footprint range I crank up the antenna on the trailer and watch the local channels. If that doesn't work I just watch what is on DirecTV. Certainly not a critical concern to me.
