Rob VanVoorhis said:At home I had Directv put a second HD Sat Dish on my garage and I got a second Genie for my RV good for 200 hours of HD recording and the installer hooked it all up for me. While the RV is in the driveway I hook up the dish and record tons of television and movies that can be 50 hrs of TV for a week. So you don't need to spend thousands of dollars and if you watch everything you recorded you can get a Directv portable HD dish on Amazon for about $100 bucks and hook it up yourself wherever you are in about 10 minutes.
You can get the elevation and azimuth from their website so once I have that set I call my wifes iPhone with FaceTime and lean it on something facing the TV and I go outside with my iPhone, I can see the TV and I turn the dish until I get full signal bars then lock it down and your done.
Costs about $50 bucks a month for the additional account but you can suspend it for up to 6 months with no payment if your not using it, works great! Get back home delete what you watched and record new programs.

NY_Dutch said:Our original Dish portable system cost a bit less than $250 complete, and the extra receiver for the RV was just $7/month with the option to add or delete it from our account at any time. Our entire account can be started and stopped at will on a monthly basis, although we no longer have any need to do that.
Our current Dish setup consists of a portable tripod mounted triple LNB dish that travels with us, and a permanently mounted triple LNB dish at our Adirondack cottage. We travel with one three tuner Hopper w/Sling DVR receiver and a Joey in the motorhome, and have a second Hopper w/Sling DVR we leave connected at the cottage. When we'll miss programs while underway, we use the DishAnywhere app on our smartphones to tell the cottage Hopper to record them. Once we're setup on a site we can then stream the recordings to our TV, or wait until we're back at the cottage where we connect the coach Hopper to the fixed dish. With that connected, we can watch the recordings on the cottage Hopper from either Hopper. The cottage Hopper does lose the spot beamed local channels when we change our service location as we travel, but it gets good OTA signals, so that's not a problem.
is it a portable or permanent one?Sgt472 said:I just posted for sale a Winegard in motion sat dish if your interested. It's brand new and will work with both dish network and Directtv . I just joined the forum so I'm not sure how to send a PM

Rob VanVoorhis said:Thats pretty cool too, it doesn't have to be expensive and then the phone apps to boot!!!! We carry a high speed modem & router as well and open an account with whatever cable company the site uses if possible for our own private high speed internet. In florida we use Comcast and this winter in Arizona we' use Cox I believe. Not a fan of Tengointernet myself.
NY_Dutch said:I'm glad your X2 system is working well! Since I knew there would be times when I wanted either cable or OTA signals along with the sat service, I installed a separate feed for the portable dish direct to the receiver. On our coach, I located the outside input fitting right next to the existing cable input in the electrical bay using a two connector cover plate and a new RG6 cable routed to the front overhead cabinet where the receiver is installed.
NY_Dutch said:Fortunately, at 73 I'm still able to do that sort of thing. Running the cable along the chassis frame rail was the easy part. My old bones do laying down stuff really well... ;D
