Roadtrip Minimax

Hello everybody, I am looking at the winegard road trip minimax for my Voltage fifth wheel. It has four tv's and I'm trying to figure out if the road trip will support all tv's. I know the minimax says it can handle two separate tv's, but my question is " if I have dish tv, the hopper can support to joeys, will this in fact be able to support four tv's"? Meaning to hoppers and two joeys.. I appreciate any help with this, thanks in advance..
  • Thanks for your suggestion, in doing more research I also think the traveler would be a better choice. Thanks again
  • One Hopper can support three Joeys. I don't think the Roadtrip Minimax is a good choice for use with a Dish Hopper receiver, much less two of them. The Minimax only receives one satellite at a time, limiting your viewing and recording at the same time to only channels that are on the same satellite. The Winegard Trav'ler would probably be a better choice. Also, Dish does not recommend the Hopper for RV use, although a number of us have used them successfully in our rigs.
