Sorry guys/gals thought I was fairly transparent, my bad. Looking a small dome (only) compatible with Dish Network as I am only interested in HD. I am looking for a consensus brand favorite among you, Once again it must be small, HD and fixed as there isn't space for a portable. I realize I'll be giving up some on performance with a dome but a dome it must be. The Trav'ler is not an option for reasons not pertinent to the question and would be a topic for a different thread.
My question is on brands that fit the above criteria. Real life experiences would be great.
Thanks
I have a Winegard Pathway X2. Its a little bigger than a Tailgater but it has a bigger reflector so works better in rain, etc.
DISH has two sets of sats; the eastern arc and the western arc, which are in different areas of the sky. I most of the US, you can use either.
The Pathway is the only carryout that can see both. When you power up your 211 box you will see a menu that you check off which arc to search for.
Based on your earlier look with your smart phone to see which isnt blocked by trees, you select and it goes.
