Dish TV in Canada?

[MamaGoose]

Hello!
This is to any Dish TV satellite dish users. Can you tell me if your satellite TV service works when you are in Canada?

Thanks!

[MamaGoose]

Thanks for the feedback! DH is checking the motorhome right now for a satellite input someplace other than the roof. Our motorhome is a 2003 Fleetwood Revolution and it already has an obsolete satellite dome on the roof. Hopefully there is some other place closer to ground level to plug in a cable going to a tailgater.

Oh yes, we have used a Tailgater for several years.

We have used ours across Canada. When we reached the East Coast
and dropped into Maine, I called Dish and they set me up with
the eastern satellites. As I headed west, the western sats kicked in.

We were thinking of using a Tailgater or something like that with our motorhome. A fixed roof unit might be problematic in Canada, given there tend to be a lot of trees where we RV.

The bigger the dish the further north you can get service.

If you have a switchable dish (Winegard Carryout G2) you can set it up for Bell in Canada

It depends on how far north of the border. We use ours in Calgary, ab without any problem. It gets iffy around Edmonton, ab.
