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...

IF you are going to go with a ground mount (Tripod) which has both advantages and disadvantages... DIRECTV all the way
The Reciever DirecTV (no choice)
A Roof mount DISH type antenna.. Dealer
NOTE: Domes work for DirecTV, but not DirecHDTV for the next couple years but Direc has advised they are ending SC (The only thing Domes work with) in 2009.
Some shows are already HD only.
IN all cases.. Make sure there is a dedicated RG-66 (Get quality cable) line from where the receiver will "live" to a connection point for that ground mount... Often the "Sat Ready" is only for a roof mount.
