Get a 211K (not Z) and it will work great with your antenna and have the necessary connections for your TV.

The KingDome is going to be picked up by Chuck tomorrow. :)

Tested the KingDome today and it works perfectly. Darn it. Now I will have to mount it on the roof. A big thanks to Ron. Now if I can only get him to come and install it:) Chuck

Fantastic! Glad it is still working. It has been quite a few years since I replaced it with the HD dish. I guess you could always use it as a portable if you can't convince Susan to install it on the roof. :B

we have a hopper sling and joeys.. so need to purchase a receiver. Have no idea if dish on roof works.

Sandy, You don't need any special receiver. A standard Dish receiver like the one used in your home will do fine. We plan to move ours back and forth from home to the RV for the time being. Many get a second "bedroom" receiver for an additional $6.00 per month and put it in the RV. If you don't have one, you can get it from Dish, you will need to provide them with a form and copy of your RV registration to get it specifically for the RV. A big thank you to rgatijnet1 for the Kingdome satellite set up for free and for their hospitality. We plan to set it up temporarily today and check everything out before mounting it in the roof. I'll keep you posted. Chuck

NICE ! Great use of the forum.

I had a roof mounted winegard traveler on my previous TT and I couldn't use it half the time because of trees.

I now use a MP1 manual portable dish for versatility. I thought I would be disappointed going from an automatic to manual system but the MP1 is quite easy to set up. The only down side is it's a single LNB.

We use the Winegard Roadtrip in motion dome. We paid about $1,000 and I installed it myself to replace a KVH dome.

We only watch SD DTV in the MH even though I wired it with a SWM8 system.

Like others, we carry a DTV dish + tripod to aim where trees are a factor.

We like the In Motion feature for three reasons:

1. We can record stuff that airs while we are driving to be watched later on.

2. With the Antenna searching, we can position our rig (sometimes) to advantage in marginal reception sites.

3. We can listen to DTV music channels while driving.

As previously mentioned, the same people who developed Motosat (and forced out by a hostile takeover) have come up with the RF MOGUL.

They did it with a clean sheet and it has been the best. Never failed yet.
