I have a "Direct TV" dish on my RV. I want to change it to "Dish" I was told that I need to change the thing that sticks out from the satellite in order to receive the "Dish" signal. Will this item work for me?

the thing is Called LMB and no you will also need the dish satellite and receiver. to be able to use dish.

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!

Your Satellite Dish should be DISH Network and it should be an HD Satellite Dish. If these requirements are met along with a DISH network subscription then you should be able to use the 612 Dual Tuner with this system. If you have the Over the Air(OTA) module installed in your receiver then you should also be able to hook up an aerial antenna to your receiver as well to receive your local OTA channels. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I use the receiver from my home. It appears that any Dish receiver will work on the unit. Great unit

Has anyone the answer to this question yet? I just purchased this product and already have the DISH Satellite system. Ideally want to use just one remote, of course.

Not really sure what you are asking. Direct dish has nothing to do with the antenna...so my guess would be NO.

Check out the Winegard web site. As I remember the (r) designates use for Dish only and the absence of the (r) means you can use the dish for DTV as well..

I actually used the Direct TV coaxial cable that was on the old dish mount to connect the outdoor antenna w/ my digital TV. I did have to attach a smaller diameter pipe to mount w/ the outdoor antenna but was simple enough.

I don't have dish, so I am not sure if it will work. I do have a universal remote that has been programmed to work on 4 functions through my amp. I use it to watch, blueray, cable, Apple TV or listen to radio or iPod. That would be your best choice for configuring both TV and dish.

I have changed my service location when traveling and been able to get the local channels. Dish is very helpful to RVers.

The only thing I am aware of that you can get for this is another remote but not from Dish. You have to search to find a compatible remote if the one that comes with unit fails. The unit works as advertised.

I'll try to answer, the connection goes into Optical Digital Audio Out (amplifier needed with this RCA Ant) I'm not sure where your Dish connects to. I know I have to change on my remote menu Cable to TV Antenna selection. Not sure if I helped at all.

Yes you can if it is a Dish Network LNB on the end. Dish's LNB will work on either Dish or Direct I've been told but Direct LNB only works for Direct. (LNB is the "eye" on the end where connections are made)

This unit will not do what you want. It will allow a single cable to carry the satellite signal that goes between the dish and the satellite set top box plus one of almost any other TV or FM signal. The second signal can come from the output of a set top box, from cable tv or from an FM or DTV antenna. You generally need two of these, one to combine the signals on one end of the single cable and another to separate the two signals on the other end. If you are trying to combine DTV with the signal coming directly from the cable company, I don't know of a way to do that. Both signals are in the same frequency range so you would need an RF A-B switch to manually switch from one cable to another. http://www.amazon.com/RCA-VH71-Slide-Switch/dp/B00009W3F2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393281571&sr=8-1&keywords=RF+A-B+switch. If you are wanting to combine analog Channel 3 or 4 from the output of a cable box with the DTV signal, that can generally be done with a UHF/VHF combiner used to combine a VHF antenna with a UHF antenna. The DTV would go to the UHF input and the set top box would go to the VHF. http://www.amazon.com/Radioshack-Combiner-150-2586-Gold-Plated-Connectors/dp/B001VLPQ6K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1393281247&sr=8-2&keywords=uhf%2Fvhf+combiner.

I am using it with a Dish 311 receiver so I cant give you a correct answer but a quick call to Dish tech support will give you the correct answer, just let them know it is a Dish 500. Sorry I could'nt give you a firm answer. Update: I just found out that if you have HD service you need to order the Dish Turbo HDTV RV KIT @136.99 , can be ordered from Amazon.

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.
