Motosat Quit, Have HD Direct Dish from Motosat

I haven’t done any research and didn’t realize I couldn’t get HD Direct with a dome. We’ve had the open dish with Motosat since 2009. Thanks again

A portable does not mean a dome. He can use a portable open face antenna and have the same service as a Trav'ler and the flexibility to move around trees.
As an aside, sometime here in the near future you WILL be able to get HD with a dome and DirecTV. What we don't know yet is exactly when or exactly which channels we will be able to receive.

No HD with a carryout unless you go with DISH. The carry outs don’t work with DISH Hopper.

I use mine with a 211 and leave it in the RV.

We might go with a portable but we will stay with Direct so we can use our receiver from home.

I got tired of not getting a signal thru trees so quit using my rooftop dish.

I switched to DISH and bought a $400 Winegard Pathway carryout.

Gets HD, DISH has solid RV support, they’re glad to change to local programming, you can reauthorize from your phone.

Thank you for your help. We will have to use campground cable until we get home and I can test throughly. I think my coach is wired for Winegard. I installed the motosat. I 5hink it’s better to go with a mainstream product.

Our Motosat satellite system quit on this trip. We have a HD tv and an HD Direct dish with the Motosat blue light, not a dome. The Direct dish came from Motosat. We live in the Los Angeles area. We take a Direct receiver from home. Can someone give us suggestions? Do we start over with a Winegard Traveler system? Thanks in advance,Oldcarfun

As mentioned below, when MotoSAT went out of business they opened a new business called RF Mogul. They may be able to help but they will likely just try to sell you a new antenna. Your old MotoSAT antenna has had a good life and it may simply be time to move forward and install a Winegard Trav'ler or the RF Mogul version. RF Mogul makes a good antenna, they just don't have many installers. You might be able to do the install yourself on either of these antennas but you will need to run a new control cable where the existing control cable runs.

Contact R F Mogul, they are the former Motostat Co.
