I'm thinking of using the Cable for our internet but may want to go with either Dish or Direct for our Television, as I've never had either of these.
Which is best to combine with the RV?
What receiver(s) do I need to do this in the RV?
Which one do people like (very subjective I know, I'd like opinions)?
Can I use 2 wireless receivers in the RV?
I have about a month to do my research!
Both services work well with an RV. What antenna type you use in the RV will effect both services. If you want to use a dome style antenna (roof mounted or portable automatic) you cannot get HD with DirecTV and you are limited to only 1 signal tuner receiver with Dish. Yes, a DVR or second receiver can be used but there will always be conflicts.
Again, the type receiver you use in the RV will depend upon the antenna type you select for the RV. The Hopper (Dish) and Genie (DirecTV) will not operate with a dome but work great with a Trav'ler or a ground mounted tripod with full sized home antenna.
You cannot use 2 wireless receivers in the RV. These are only clients and must have a Hopper or Genie as the source for the satellite signal which is hard wired. A wireless client receiver can then be used at a 2nd location.
