Here goes, please, don't flame me if you think I'm an idiot, but, I'm on my way to Florida for the winter. I had Shaw Direct install a satellite system in my fifth wheel. They talked me out of a roof mount with a remote finder. So, I now have a dish on a tripod and I'm having an awful time setting it up when I stop. It's hit and miss whether I can diddle it around enough to find a signal and frankly it's a pain in the backside. So, my question is, can I get a dish in the states installed that is compatible with shaw direct?
Yes, the Winegard Trav'ler for Shaw. It's usually a special order unit but it is available and it works great.
Check with your campground to see if they have a local satellite guy. If they do he will likely be a Winegard dealer and will be able to do the installation locally. It's not cheap but the installation should only cost about $300. He if wants too much more than you can find online, just ask what he would charge to install an antenna you supply. It should be 400-500 dollars.
