Sat Dish

Odds are it will not work with DISH but should work with DirecTV for a while as long as it's paired with an older DirecTV receiver. Dish recently changed their signal coding and that made a lot of KVH, Kingdome, and Winegard antennas produced before 2012 unable to lock on to their satellites.

Thanks. Sounds like it's not worth messing with. I think I'll just throw it. More room for solar panels.

RT8000T is the retail number and the RTT-80 is the number used by the OEM's. Same product just a different number.
This is clearly not a 1976 OEM product so do you know when the antenna was purchased/installed?
It's likely that this antenna will work just fine with Dish or DirecTV but it ABSOULUTELY will work with DirecTV now and well into the future.

do you know when the antenna was purchased/installed?

Sometime after 2010 as the owner's manual is dated 2010.

I believe a 2010 or newer unit should still work with Dish as well but just to repeat what I mentioned above, it WILL work with DirecTV.
