I have the "bottom dollar" setup. A dish,tripod, strength meter, compass. DirecTV SD.
I take a box from my house and put that in the RV when needed.
Everything goes thru a passive switchbox. (push the 'sat" button)
All I've ever done is use the "cable" connection of the RV. No problems.
If I am in, say, Arizona, I get all the "cable" stations minus the networks (out of my "spot beam"). For the networks, I put up my batwing, and push the "ant" button.
Just my experience and the way I do things. Now...in 2019, when DirecTV suppovily goes all HD, things might be different. I'll tackle that when the time comes.
