What is available these days for roof-top satellite dishes? I have an older model Motosat, now out of business, which works fine but I know I can't get software updates for the controller or factory assistance should I have any problems. I have looked at the Winegard Traveler and have seen some black HD dishes recently but don't know the brand. I would appreciate any suggestions so I can be ready when and if needed.

I have obtained spare parts for my Motosat and replaced the F1 roof base dish with a later model with a newer UCB. Now have a spare D3 and Hughes HN7000S modem. So hope I am good to go for a few more years as we like to boondock away from cell service. I am member #98 on www.datastormusers.com which helps with any issues I have. Also there are several who have Datastorm parts for resale. Checkout http://www.oregonrv.net/ and go to the link dmarr.com on his site for parts and software. Don has all you will need to stay online. He also works to update the Sat. Tables.

The original post above was a discussion about TV antennas. The second post is related to the MotoSAT Datastorm which is satellite internet. There are parts and software available for the MotoSAT TV antennas and the datastormusers.com group does discuss TV as well but the 2 antenna types are not anything alike or interchangeable.
