Satellite Television

If you already have service at your house, you should be able to take the receiver from your house and use it in your RV.

If you're full timing, then either DISH or DirecTV, but I'd suggest getting a rooftop Winegard Travler dish for either service. The Travler dish gives you the most options in terms of the receivers you can use.

If you don't have service at your house & you're just part timing, then I'd suggest DISH because it has Pay-As-You-Go service which you can turn on and off when you want.

Not sure what you are referring to here as I am in an RV and I have full HD with DirecTV. I also have a Genie and an H25 so I can watch and/or record up to 6 channels simultaneously (all in HD).

Personally I like Dish. Mostly because I use the Tailgater with the 211k receiver and its very easy to set up. Progeamming isn't much different between different providers but the Tailgater is so easy,I seldom use my KVH roof mounted dish.

We have a dome but next time I think I would opt for those portable ones that find the satellite automatically. Too many times we are parked behind a tree and can't `see' the satellite.

Need a LOT more information to be of much help. You can get systems priced from under $50.00 to a couple of thousand and they ALL get the same programing. I have a $50.00 system with a home made dish stand and a used dish ($10.00). It takes me about 15 minutes to set it up. The other end of the scale has zero set up time so you're paying for the conveniences.

Good luck / Skip

For US customers it's choice of Dish or DirecTV. Compare the services and make a choice. There is not one that is better than another (it's much like Ford or Chevy) but there are slight differences which might make one better "for you".

$452 at wal mart for a dish automatic and receiver.
