dish for my rv

We winter in FL tat the Villages and summer in TN. You can buy a Dish unit with the Wally receiver for $399 and have it installed on your RV.

Well you got a difference in requirements. The best bang for the buck is an open face antenna on a tripod. The drawback is it has to be set up and aimed each time you move. The easiest would be an automatic portable like the DISH Tailgater, drawback it only receives western arc satellites so blockage by trees etc. is possible. The best portable for DISH is the Winegard Pathway X2. It will receive either DISH eastern or western arc satellites and has a larger antenna surface for better reception in bad weather. The drawback is it is somewhat bulky and takes up a bit of storage space when not being used.

Another happy Winegard Pathway X2 user here.

Very HAPPY with our Pathway X2. Just hooked up a Western Digital DVR 1TB with single USB and had Dish activate it. Even I...who is challenged in tech stuff could do this. DVR is awesome. About the size of a wallet.

Pathway X2 and Wally. Basic satellite and local channels for $49 a month. X2 is simple - plug it in, tell Wally where you are, let it go.

I had to run a separate cable to Wally from the antenna. The 23 year old coax connections in my rig lost too much signal.

Have a roof top antenna, a Pathfinder with 100 ft. of cable for places with trees. Sometimes just have to get by on Cable.
