Actually no. I think our Wally(s) update or download automatically at specified times in the early morning. I was talking about our Winegard RoadTrip dome dish antenna. This antenna was on the coach (2016) when we bought it back in the winter. Obviously I am not a high-tech type and wonder if there is anything that might it locate the satellites quicker or more accurately.

Is your disk tracking the satellites "in motion" like it's supposed to do? Dish Network hasn't changed the location of it's satellite array since it went with the HD channels - 110-119-129. Your RoadTrip is supposed to allow your passengers to watch TV as you drive down the road. If it's doing that, no update is necessary.

There is an upgrade for some Dish Playmaker antennas that will allow one eastern satellite to be received, see the website.

I have seen several references on the RV sites I read of satellite dish being upgraded. I am just trying to figure out how this is accomplished. I have not seen anything on our Winegard info about how this might be done. Ideas?

What kind of satellite antenna (dish) do you have now?
