Winegard Pathway X2

Started full timing a few months ago. Did without TV for a couple of months then bit the bullet and bought the Winegard Pathway X2 with Dish TV. Have used Direct TV for many years and wish I had never changed.
We have been traveling in the West the last couple of months. We bought 2 receivers as the Pathway supports this. It has been so frustrating because if one of us gets a good signal the other one gets "jewelry sales" channels. I am sick of DISH TV. We spend hours on the phone with techs and still nothing gets done. I am ready to eat the cost of the Pathway X2 and switch back to DTV.

Anyone else have problems like this? I'm sick of paying for something that I'm not getting!

    I wish they would drop the "analog to digital tv" "Sticky" and add one for Dish vs Directv advantages, disadvantages, etc. People could make an educated decision before getting satellite service or switching. The equipment and connections are so much different. I'm not a rep for Directv but it appears from reading all of the problems, that in MY opinion and experience, Directv is easier to connect in a RV. I think folks like being able to put out a little cube and get HD easily. Good luck with your decision.

    Typically, if we are running two tvs off of the pathway, we try to keep it on Sat 129. That is almost all of the HD channels (not including locals). For locals we use the antenna.

    If one tv gets a good signal the other should, too. They should also both get the same channels. If one is only getting 'jewelry sales' I would check the tv and receiver: make sure the receiver can access all the satellites, or at least the sat you are watching, and make sure the TV isn't on antenna.
