Which rooftop Satellite antenna for Directv?
Hey folks, My dad is tired of manually aligning his roof top SAT antenna and wants to replace it with a modern self pointing model such as the Winegard carryout G2 or the King controls Quest VQ4100...

Ok Sat Antennas 101.001 DirecTV only
Domes, all work when stationary, some work in motion, some are "SINGLE" lnb (Work with only one receiver) Some "Dual" (Work with multiple receivers or multi-channel DVRs) the difference between a single and double is not Two LNB's. it is the ability to see both right and left hand polarization (Clockwise and anti-clockwise).
Domes some models are in-motion, all work stationary..
DISH.. There is a single LNB Dish made by Winegard but far as I know it is the only one.. Rest are all double (it's the table top model)
Dish type antennas can be purchased to match any receiver, and teh SWM (Single wire multiplex) dishes Direc has work with both SD and HD, for stationary only I would recomment two antennas, both dish type.
one automatic roof mounted, One tripod, and an "A/B" Switch in the lnb line
Set to A, if the roof top dish can not see the satellite.. Hook up, SET TO B, then RESET the receiver and aim.
When leaving set back to A, disconnect, reset and go.
A = Above
B = Below by the way.
