My trailer is internally wired with regular coax. Will this dish work with home DVR, in HD &amp; do I need RG6?

Hi Steve: The regular coax (RG-59) will probably work for short runs like in your trailer although DirecTV calls for RG-6. You will need an LNB and a DirecTV receiver and LNB in order to receive satellite signals from this dish. They are available with HD and DVR capability. Dont forget the LNB. DH

Not sure I checked with directv before I bought dish to make sure it worked with my box. Some of the newer dvr HD boxes wont work as per directv, just double check with directv before you buy it.

Hi. I take the Dish Receiver from my Bedroom out to the RV for trips. It is model Vip222K made by Echostar. Do not use the Main DVR for this purpose. The dip swiches have to be set for Dish in the GM-1518. The receiver has to be downloaded to defualt and then programmed for the satelite. If you have problems, I can tell you point by point how to get Dish at a RV camp. Good luck.

Sorry, I can't give you an accurate answer. My gut feeling is that since both TiVo and HDHomeRun are both tuners there could be some conflict. You may be able to make them work, but probably not the way you want it to. My HDHomeRun is directly connected to the cable and I use Microsoft Media Center for the DVR and other functions and it works very well in that configuration. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes it will mine works great very easy to do. Just plug in the transimtter and put the reciever in line of sight of the dvr and you will be good to go.

No problem. I upgraded my dish net receiver to one of the newer dvr receivers and keep the old original dish reciever which I put in my motorhome and I use the winegard GM 1518 for the motor home. Everything works great and is easy to use. You will have to pay net about $7 a month to use the 2nd reciever in the motorhome. When you move about in the motorhome to different geographic locations you will need to call DISH NETWORK and advise them of your new location (address and zip code) to get local stations there--this is a free service and takes just of few minutes.

I use the same old UHF antenna - first through the DVR, then daisy-chained over to the TV. :-)

I am using RG6 coax and have had it installed for 8 years. RG6 has twice the bandwidth of RG59. I've dug a little on the Internet and I saw reference of using RG6 to connect the antenna to the radio unit. My recommendation is to use RG6.

Yes, my Winegard Carryout has dual outputs for hooking up two receivers or onr DVR in SD, not HD. I use HR-22s and I have to switch the setup from oval dish to round dish which takes a couple of minutes. Once you do that it is set until you take the receiver back in the house. If you have local channels you will lose those channels when you get 100-200 miles from home as they are on a directed transponder to your local area. All other channels will work anywhere in the US.

I have directv with this one. Depends on the receiver you get from dish. If you get an had dish and have an he tv then you should

Anymore, it's not a bad idea. RG6 is for digital cable and satellite, RG59 for analog. Any more, TVs, cable, satellite, DVD players, etc. are all digital. BTW, in my RV, I did not change out the installed cable lines, and even on the secondary line in the back room, it works fine, as long as I have the amplifier on in the wall plate. I'm not sure what cable was installed, though. You might try it first, before replacing the lines. I'm no techy, but I found the info on the cables online. Just used "rg59 vs rg6 coaxial cable" in search.

Yes the dish pan and brackets to hold it up to the side of a house, garage, etc. You will need to buy RG6 cable to run from the dish to the building the receiver will be in. Hope this helps.

Hi Ace! Yes, you certainly can hook this up to an outdoor antenna if it uses a coax-type cable. You just screw it onto the back of the DVR. Or you can find an adapter that converts old-style two-wire TV antenna lines into a coax connector. The DVR comes with audio and video cables that then hook it to your TV. It also comes with a single adapter you can use instead, in case you have an older TV lacking those video and audio input receptors. Everything is color coded. Simple to do either way. You can record any channel you're watching and you can program the DVR to tune to a particular channel at a set time to record a program, movie or event, That's all in the instruction booklet that comes with it or you can find the same information online. Like anything new, it takes a little getting use to, but once you do things right a few times it's so simple. And, unlike most newer DVRs, this one doesn't make you jump through hoops to enter codes that match your TV or TV reception service. It scans all that by itself and enters the information into its own little internal computer all by itself. Depending on your TV brand and age, all of your channels will come in on either channel 3 or on "Video 2". Then you use the DVR remote to switch to the stations it scanned from your antenna. Real simple!

USB is too slow for DVR use. You need a faster eSata cable. If they didn't put one in the box you can buy one on Amazon cheaply. Make sure your dish has an eSata port. Should be am eSata port on the drive. Note! You may lose all your shows on your Dish console. Google about this or read you Dish manual. On my DirectTV, the drive inside is ignored in favor of the external. Good luck.

Sorry, I can't provide any insight to your situation, as I don't utilize TWC. I currently use the DVR for over the-air-reception, though I can tell you it does work with DirectV and Dish, but using it via Channel 3 on the Magnavox as the input from the set top box going to the Magnavox then to the TV. Although it was not true HD, the picture quality was excellent.

Hi if the antenna is plugged into a DTV converter and then the analog convert is plugged into a analog TV, yes that should be fine. Now mine is plugged into a Tivo Premier, it was one of the few DVR that did OTA. Works really well.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I live in a two story town home. I simply mounted it in the attic at the highest point possible. My town home has a central wiring box with a splitter that connects TV outlets in all the bedrooms and the living room, so I just dropped an RG6 cable from the antenna into the central box, and connected it to the splitter. You can also mount it outside on a pole, which is supposed to provide even better reception. For me, mounting it inside, on the wall would have been tacky. I wanted it out of site, so the attic was perfect. If you do not have access to the attic, and your apartment is not prewired with coax cable, the only thing you can do is mount it on the wall behind your TV.
