DirecTV dish for the trailer
So I bought an HD DirecTV dish off eBay for $127.50, I was checking all those kingdomes etc. and spending that kind of money was just crazy, especially since my trailer was only $2,500 haha
So our next trip will be in July and I told the hubby I think we need to bust out that dish and set it up in our driveway last weekend and figure it out so were not stuck in the boonies and can't do it ... right ?
We couldn't get it to work after an hour, so we called DirecTV spent an hour with them, they told me to call the people I bought it from, it was probably faulty, or they (DirectTV) could send someone out for $50.00 and set it up. I hung up and figured after I called the vendor on eBay I'd take it from there. I'm a techy nerd and decided to keep trying, I sent my hubby to the middle of the street with the dish and the compass and kept telling him to move around, I used the coordinates I got from the dish company instead of DirecTV's and low and behold we made it work YAY serious that's the best $127.50 I ever spent !! I'll still bring dvd's and laptop with Netflix, but we have real TV. Pretty stoked.
