Dish Network Antenna Question/Issue
Hello all We currently have Dish Network with a DVR that supports watching a different channel on 2 different TVs. We will be going full time RVing in about a month. Want to use the same setup ...

Of the dome style portables, only the Winegard Anser will allow you to use your dual receiver as you use it at home. As mentioned earlier, you will have to run 2 cables from the Anser to your receiver. What you don't get with the Anser is ANY Network TV programming since you must point the Anser at the 72.7 satellite to get all of the programming from only one satellite. You can use your over the air antenna for the reception of Network programming.
The Dish Tailgater does not work with a dual tuner receiver and the Carryout and VuQube antennas will allow you to watch different channels on different TV's but since the dome style antennas only contain 1 LNB, both people have to be watching (or recording) programming that are broadcast from the same satellite.
If you want full use from your receiver exactly as you do at home you need the exact same style antenna as you have mounted to your house. The means the Winegard Trav'ler if you want a fully automatic antenna or the same kind of antenna which you mount on a tripod and setup and break down each time you move. Once you learn how, the setup is pretty easy and usually takes less than 1/2 hour but there's a pretty steep learning curve.
