Thank you everyone for your knowledge. This is a new experience for me. As we don't watch much if any TV while camping, I probably won't add the DVR capability. I wasn't aware that Dish uses 3 satellites and I'm pretty sure mine is a manually adjusted dish atop the RV. If I am hearing you correctly does this mean when I get a signal, I will only get some programming? To get other programming, can I readjust the dish (sounds like a pain)? If we find ourselves on more longer trips, I may upgrade the dish to newer technology but for now I just wanted to see what I have. I know having a rooftop mounted dish limits line of sight so I will have to consider that in my decisions. Also we only have one TV in the RV.
