I've had mine installed for a few months now and we love it. No more setting up the dish every time you move which gets old. We also added external hard drive for dvr recordings. You have a one time activation fee then no more dvr fees every month

Only used it with the standard roof-mounted antenna. Always turned on power booster. Digital signals might not penetrate to a set of rabbit ears in an RV very well due to their radio frequency. Never tried it with "rabbit ears".

Yes you can take your home dish receiver to the camper and hook it to this dish antenna and after aiming it at the satellites you can get all your dish programming on your trailer tv while on vacation if you are in the same area you still get your local channels. If out of the area you won't get locals.

Yes, but the Hopper is not compatible with your existing wiring & satelite dish. You just can't swap out the Hopper with a standard DVR/receiver from Dish. You need a whole new setup.

We just installed this very setup in our Rv. The directv tech had to run it through the satellite input in our trailer vs. Cable. Why, I do not know.

Once you have a dish setup for all your homes, then all you need to do is take your receiver from any location (ANY STATE)to any of your homes regardless the state and it will work, KEEP IN MIND if you don't call Direct-TV and have it updated to that local area you won't get local channels, it will be trying to pull in the other locations local channels in which you won't get either....... Really simple and we do this twice yearly ourself; we go between Arizona & Oregon in an RV that also have a Satellite Dish(tailgater type dome model) on top and it automatically locks onto the satellite needed, so we use same Receiver between AZ and OREGON and every where we go in between...... :) Once you have a dish setup for all your homes, then all you need to do is take your receiver from any location (ANY STATE)to any of your homes regardless the state and it will work, KEEP IN MIND if you don't call Direct-TV and have it updated to that local area you won't get local channels, it will be trying to pull in the other locations local channels in which you won't get either.......

I do not think so,but have not tried it. Mine came with the Dish receiver as a kit.

I had been using the 612 receiver in my RV for the last year, and just upgraded to the Hopper last week. So I would say you can use any receiver Dish has. When upgrading to the Hopper, they did need to put an extra cable box in the line. It seems to be a 4"x4"x3/4" box that connects two jacks on the dish to the one cable feeding the receiver. (leaving one jack to send signal back to the bedroom receiver if not using the Joeys) Something about feeding more power to the dish elements. I will say the images are better, big Seattle downpour last night, no image interference at all!

I used the Hopper and the Joey from my DISH network setup in my house. The Hopper is on the TV up front and the Joey on the TV in the bedroom of the RV. Worked great. No additional hardware was needed. You lose your local stations but you can call DISH and give them your current location when on the road and you will get the local stations for that area. Local stations are only good for a 200 mile radius. We only did that if we had an extended stay at a location.

Also if you are buying the dish and lnb make sure you get the 21v power supply for this type!

The simple answer is yes. You have to either be a DISH subscriber and add this receiver to your account (about $7 a month as I recall) or use the month to month subscription that some RVers use. You can stop and start as you like but will be charged for that particular month that you use it.

I think what you are talking about is the LNB. It is very likely that this is all you need, but I am not sure. I recently bought a Dish Tailgater which finds the satellites automatically and works great. It however will only work with the Dish v211k receiver. I already had that so transition was simple.

i use my dish for my camper and i also use the "dish aligner" i just back and looked at my account for a part number but couldnt find one. sorry. i just had directv at the house to reset the dish. i asked him about his meter he said any good meter should work. of course im not crazy about spending 200$ for a good meter. thats why i bpught the other tool.no meter required. good luck.

I could not get the anser dish 5000 to work at all with dish network. I upgraded to the 1518 carry out and it works well with one reciever. If you want to use 2 reciever you will need to call winegard, call right when they open or you will never get to speak with anyone. Thay

I bought one to use with DishTV. It was not compatible, even though I was told it would work. It is well constructed, but I would not buy it again because it won't work with the newer systems.
