Forgive me if this has been asked countless times before. Was curious as to how I needed to go about taking one of my direct tv boxes with us out on the road. We wouldnt be mobile while watching as its a pull behind camper. We have the antenna on the roof. Other than that I have absolutely no idea on where to start. Any tips on what I need to do?

you have a sat. dish on your camper? exactly which one? do you want HDTV, etc?bumpy

Satellite TV:--------------------Dtv from house 2014Take receiver from house

Need to get satellite dish from direct. Call them or one of their dealers and they will install at camp site. Yout box hooks up the same way as at home.

This is a photo of his trailer and truck. I doubt it has a SAT ANTENNA on it... He is probably referring to his OTA Crank-up Antenna...Roy Ken

Easiest is to duplicate what you have at home.

that is not going to connect to the crank up OTA antenna

right but if they can get internet it will work.

for subscription channels you must use a Sat Dish antenna of some kind with the Sat reciever box

or something like a ROKU unit. I can get HBO to go.

If you don't have or want HD, just about any old round single LNB dish will get all Directs regular programming.
But if you don't think you can aim a dish, or don't want to, then go to the winegard dealer and get set up w/ an automatic dish, or dome, either in portable or roof mounted
