(trimmed for brevity)

Note that they say "...we are longer able to support...", not that it won't work. Dish says they don't support RV use of Hopper receivers, but there are no technical reasons preventing Hopper use in RV's. "Support" just means don't call them if you have a problem with it. As long as their sat signals reach your dish, you should be good to go.

This topic has been flogged to death many times.
Please don't start this up again,

Shaw can be received all the way into Northern Mexico .
Bell can't be received south of the Canadian border PERIOD!!!!

Do a search in this forum if you must.

Reality differs from policy.

There appears to be a diochotmey between the Shaw email below and the comments regarding Shaw service above!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would appreciate hearing from any folks using Shaw Satellite south of the 49th Parallel. I am curious as to whether the Shaw service extends south of the 49th.

I use it at home south of the 49th and get all channels off all 3 sats.

Works well in Florida. Bell 0

Small dishes like Winegard carryouts will not work on Shaw down south. You need a larger dish but once set up they work great.

Listening to the hockey game break between periods on Shaw in Florida (Tampa Area) right now!! I have the larger dish... excellent reception for 10 years now!!

No Bell.

How about Bell?
