Since your antenna is SD only, be sure to search andmsetup on only SD programming.
Not totally sure, but you may also need a B band converter

Since you won't say what receiver you have been trying to use, we can't help you. For SD the dish needs to be set for 18" and you need to find the 101 sat. The guide menu needs to be set for SD only. You need to check the satellite signal strength for the 101 sat. If your home sat is HD and the home dish has an SWM switch, the set up for the RV has to be set to multi-switch. Chuck

I have the Genie system from Directv and a Wingard Travler rooftop antenna. When I take my receiver box from the house and into the RV there is a short period where the box acclimates itself to the RV antenna. It doesn't require me to do anything but wait until it's done.

Depending on what receiver you have it should work fine. You may just need to learn which set up changes need to be made when switching. Once you figure this out, swapping out should only take a few minutes. Keep in mind that the G2 will only receive standard definition channels for DirecTV. You will need to probably change the dish type in your menu and standard def in your channel setup. Chuck

We use ours from the house. We do not reprogram it.
While on the road, we use the antenna for local stations where qwe are at. We do not care about home local stations.
