How to implement a satellite system?
We've been around to enough CGs now to find that OTA (or cable) reception and channel availability can often be dismal to non-existent. Nothing's worse than not being able to watch Survivor, DWTS or other fav. show... :M (We are "camping" and roughing it, lol.)
This past weekend we ran into a fellow camper that said if you have sat TV at home, you can just bring along one of your PVRs from home and buy a dish. Our sat TV provider buys their service from Bell so I think all we need is a Bell dish? What else would we need or need to know about?
Our TT is factory wired for satellite TV. Has a co-ax outlet at each of 2 TVs inside and 2 locations outside and don't know how it's all connected. Dealer did not know and the manufacturer has no info. Does each TV location require a PVR and is one of the exterior co-ax connections one of the inputs? A TV is going to be connected with an HDMI cable so not sure why we have 2 sat connections outside? There is a co-ax connection at the rear of the trailer which is for cable TV input with a sat. co-ax next to it which would suggest it's for input??
Do we just need a dish & tripod, some RG6, a separator, compass and a signal finder and we are good to go? Here is one package that is available Canada Satellite. Can we just buy a Bell dish on CL?
Are there different types of a dish that we need to be aware of and are some better than others? The only downside to having sat TV would be where to store the dish and tripod. Can go in the truck I suppose. Maybe a roof mount is something to consider?
