Can't believe that your KVH R6 was still working at all. Manufacturer dropped support of it years ago. We dumped our KVH in early 2011 because of software issues. Outdated technology. On the cheap buy a Tailgator or similar or get a roof mounted Travler.
my R6 still works just fine. Direct TV still comes in great and it tracks very well as you travel down the road. Dish used to work good, I had to update the software a couple months back for new sat tracking parameters but it was easily accomplished. I am told I still will be able to get 119 for dish but that will only give about 1/3 of the channel coverage so the R6 is unusable for Dish.
