My trailer is internally wired with regular coax. Will this dish work with home DVR, in HD & 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

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.

RG59 has a little higher loss than does RG6, so since you're not talking about significant lengths, you should have no problem.

Yes, you need RG6 and yes this will work with your HD DVR provided you purchase the correct LNB. This dish does not include a LNB. You will have to purchase that separately.

I use mine as a DVR expander for Dish. I'm not sure about Direct, but would assume so.

My answer is based upon Directv do not know about Dish at all. Not sure about the TVs but the unit can work with 2 receivers. I have a DVR that has 2 receivers in it and it works fine with that.

This question would be best answered by the vendor. My remote is the exact unit that came with the dish receiver and has a A B switch inside it but I left in the A position.This is a UHF remote and will control the DVR anywhere in the house. Only needs to have channel set to your receiver channel you program.

This dish will not support HD, so that receiver will work great....same one I use. I use mine at Camp in the mountains and the dish works great, it is small and easy to set up quick. I do suggest that you look at purchasing a Satellite Finder Meter For Directv to make the set up quicker, the one I purchased was made by Satellite Finder, sold by Smartie Store on Amazon, only $8.99. You may want a tri pod or pole to mount the dish for ease as well.

I'm not sure. It would make sense to get the HD antenna & receiver. If you ask Dish HD will be free.

When looking into using the coax input, be sure to check your source. Dish Network for example, has many ouptu optins form its receivers and DVRS. However, if you use coax out from them, the audio signal going into your equipment is mono.

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.

Not sure on dish but Directv works on home receivers, i have 2 different ones hdmi and the other is rca type.

Yes, it should work just fine. You will run one cable off the coax splitter into the DVR and the other into the Actiontec. And you will have your Ethernet for the TV, providing that your U-verse router is MoCA enabled. The splitter I have been using is the RCA DH24SPF Two Way 3 Ghz Bi-Directional Splitter.

I agree. The Hopper and the OTA will only work with activated Dish service. As suggested why not purchase a TiVo to record programs with an antenna for reception of the local signals.

If your DVR has BNC style inputs, you should be able to connect it. You don't have to use all the same brand or style.

Hi. You can install a rca to coax adapter and simply crimp a RG59 coax fitting on one end of your cctv cable then you will need the cctv coax fitting on the dvr side. Another easy way would be to run a rca to cat5 adapter and you can use the extra leads/wires for the 12vblazing power. Amazon carries the cat5 to cctv adapter too. Good luck

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.

I mounted my antenna near my old satellite dish and used that cable and it works great. I would imagine that cable wouldn't be any different...coax is coax. Also, in case you are interested, I am using a TIVO dvr which costs $15 a month which allows me to record regular TV shows and also streams Netflix, Pandora etc...

You should be able to do that. I have 4 receivers, one Model: HR24-500 hd-dvr and two H25-100 and one H25-500 receivers. You just have to make sure you have the right interface equipment so all the receivers can talk to the main receiver (HD-DVR) provided by Direct tv.

I had the same situation basically. This switch is a great device to do just what you want. Just remove the Cat5 plug from the DVR and insert it into the UPLINK of the switch (from the Bridge plug into the uplink. Now just use Cat5 to plug your Blue-ray device and your DVR device into the switch, but make sure you don't use the plug immediately next to the uplink port! That last port does not work in the 5 port model of this switch. Now just power up the switch and all should be working!
