Our RV came with a Winegard RTT-40B unit. We are looking to get Satellite TV and Internet. Any suggestions utilizing the Winegard system?
That antenna cannot ever be use for internet service. You will be able to use it if you sign up for DirecTV or Dish Network service. However, DirecTV service will only be available in SD while the Dish broadcast frequency will allow you to receive full HD. Dish also allows has partial year service if you are not full time or don't want the service installed at home. This service is called Pay-as-you-go.
The use of a DVR can create other issues but both can handle at least a single tuner DVR.
For internet service you are going to want to look to some plan from one of the cellular internet providers. Verizon and AT&T have excellent service and while their "unlimited" plans are limited to 15GB (hotspot) or 25GB otherwise, depending upon the loading on the tower you are connected you may or may not be slowed down if you exceed the 25GB limit.
