I know having a rooftop mounted dish limits line of sight so I will have to consider that in my decisions. Also we only have one TV in the RV.
This could be correct. Not knowing what dish you have, you might only be able to receive one Sat in the sky at a time. if this is the case, you want to hit the 119 sat. It is also possible it can hit two. The way to know is if it has multiple LNB's. the round circles on the end of the dish arm.
