OK, made the pilgramage today to both Sam's Club and Costco. Sam's Club has dish only. Strike one. Costco has neither. Used to have Dish but dumped them. They are in the process of getting DirecTV but don't know when it will be available. Strike two.
Next, in-motion is out of the question for us, we have a 5th wheel which when traveling we only use the bedroom and bathroom while staying at truck stops. Don't need to watch TV while driving because we are both such good company. ;D
So DirecTV with whatever kind of DVR we can get is the target. I have the niftiest little mount that I got in Valentine Nebraska at a TV/appliance store. The base is homemade out of concrete and the mast is mounted to that. I long ago threw away the dish but saved the LNB. I suppose if we want two units (bedroom and living room) plus DVR we will need tripple LNB's right? How does that work if the DVR is not connected to the TV you want to watch the show on? The trailer is supposedly wired for both cable and Satelite (has two inputs) but I doubt if the living room and bedroom are wired the same.
Brazilian TV for my wife is an absolute requirement. For me, I just want to watch the Fox News Channel. It's not included in what we have here in the park. They give us all free "cable," but its really a satellite feed (unknown origin) with only 30 channels. Doesn't need a box.
I don't have HDTV now and don't plan to get it right away. Eventually probalby wiill, should I get an HDTV box?
