Satellite device options - Directv?
Good morning. We just bought our first RV yesterday, The motorhome is "satellite ready" but doesn't have a dish or dome. We have DIRECTV at home and have a mini receiver that could easily go with us...

I have had both Directv and DISH. My RV has a dome on the roof and I used it for Directv when I could.
In Florida, where we prefer camping there are almost always too many trees for a roof mounted antenna; dome or dish.
When I switched to HD I started using a stand alone tripod (a good one) which you can put where there is no interference.
Then DISH caught my eye with their current promo which is 190 channels for $49/mo for two years, three mo free premiums, one year free Netflix, free for life no HD or DVR fees. PLUS a $100 gift card for Camping World if you sign up thru Good Sams.
Add in the fact that one can buy a carryout automatic sat antenna like a Winegard Pathway X2 for $400 delivered and it gets DISH HD channels and you can put it where there is no interference.
With Directv you either use the $1500 Travler or use a tripod and aim it your self.
