This is my first post here, at RV.NET:
Directv will do RV installs -- they did mine -- just make sure you have your tripod on-hand because they will not provide that for you and they have to set everything up so it is working well enough for them to get good enough signals to register your boxes. Get your tripod setup from www.tv4rv.com.
I had them set me up with an HR-24 in the bunkhouse and an H-25 in the living room/bedroom. They also ran a line to outside so I can swap my H-25 around when I want to watch TV under the awning. So, I have Directv HD in four locations in my trailer -- the bunkhouse, outside, living room and bedroom -- my living room TV swivels to become the bedroom TV. All with two receivers via SWM. Plus, the DVR is accessible at all locations.
The H-25 is a wonderful receiver because it is very small and you can set it up to work with the RF remote. It can be stashed in so many places, out of sight. As far as my dish and tripod setup, I couldn't be happier with everything I have bought from tv4rv. Depending on how much sky I have available to me, I am usually setup within ten minutes. Tv4rv's aiming system usually has me on all three satellites before I go inside to check signal strength, then all I have left is some fine tuning to get 101 to the high 90s, while the other two satellites just fall into place in the high 80s to lower 90s. I always set my skew before I aim my dish.
