Forum Discussion
The first question is how much is TV worth to you, for how long?
Can you do without and use a DVD player for a couple days, or are you going to be on the road for weeks at a time? Are you going to be in areas close to cities with over-the-air TV stations, or in remote campgrounds far from any TV signal.
A dish receive is the only way to ensure you have TV at most locations. It will limit your choice of campsites, because you need a clear view of the sky where the satellites are located. Forget about using those tucked away isolated shady camping spots.
If you have a S/B house, or other physical residence - I recommend you get Direct TV.
If you already have Dish or are not planning to keep a physical residence - get Dish Network.
Basically, Direct TV requires your primary receiver be in a 'home' location - you can temporarily take it in your RV, or take a second receiver in the RV.
Dish Network allows you to change your "service address" as much as you want as you travel around.
(We are full-timers and have Dish Network. Direct TV won't talk to us when we say we don't have a home address for the primary receiver.)
