Yes, as long you're using an activated receiver on your account it will work. Just mount and install, then align the dish and if its properly aligned it will see your channels.

Would be good to inquire if you are better with D1000.4 antenna if you are in the East coast. Eastern arc satellites 61.5 , 72.7 , 77oW.

As long as you have an active receiver and the dish is pointed in the right direction it should work.

Yes I have same situation. You can take box to camper it will go thru locating signal and program guide. I had to use a cheap signal meter to set dish up at camper. Also a little tip cover the 2 outside lnb's with foil while finding SATs. Google pointing this dish. Lot's of info..

Lisa: This antenna gets channels from satellites 110 Echostar10-11 (2/4), 118.8 AnikF3 (1/4), 119 EchoStar14 (1/4), 129oW Ciel2 (3/4) alltogether DishNetworks. You can pick up channels from other satellites also if pointing to them as a single antenna (1/4). To set it you have to find the best signal with 1/4!!! For satellites you need their coordinates (location): azimuth respect North (degrees from you viewable horizon aprox 110-350o, pointing South), elevation respect the horizontal plane aprox 40-48o (it will depend on the location you are actually) . You have to point in 1/4 to 119oW Satellite for the best signal. In the explanations handbook it will tell you the skew (turn from behind dish). I have seen people with the antenna on a tripod! And if you have an active account your receiver will decypher the channels you are paying for. When acquainted with orientation of the antenna it is simple and straightforward and you can enjoy the channels from your subscription.

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.

I think if this sat receiver dish is attached to your existing satellite receiver box you would still be able to pick up signals. It is the box with its card that de-scramble's the signal not the dish. When I used D-TV I used to take mine on the road with me. Dont think the companies care as long as you pay your bill. you might consider talking with DISH and ask about the pay as you go works well for occasional use.

Yes, absolutely, but it will not stream in HD because the dish is NOT an HD dish. This means you can use your HD receiver with it and you will get all your programing but it will stream STANDARD. We use our home HD receiver with ours and get all our programing wherever we go after setting it up. It takes me about 15 minutes to do all the set up. Good Luck.

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

We have 2 TV's connected to our Winegard Anser and travel in our RV fulltime, so we change locations. At first we received Houston stations since that is our home base. Now we are closer to San Antonio and we called Dish and the entered a different zip code and now we receive the news, weather, etc. from San Antonio. I think there might be a limit due to the Satellites they use. Hope this helps.

You can scan as many channels as they offer from your pick of satellite (Telstar5 - 97 W). This is a blind scan receiver. Yes, this is a satellite receiver. You do need a satellite dish. You do not need satellite finder to find the signal. You still can use this receiver and TV to find the signal. Make sure to change the mode of this receiver from PAL to NTSC for United States.

Yes. It's fully automatic. If the channel you select is on a different satellite it tunes it. You cannot even notice it changed. Also the dish is larger and signals seem to be more robust

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!

If the satellite is available to the dish, then it can be used. I would suggest you contact your satellite service provider, and ask them. One thing I do know for sure, with only one LNB, you will only get half or less of the channels available. I have the carry out dish, but don't use it anymore because of it's receiving limitations.

Sort of...but you have to use the pair. Your Dish receiver will have a coaxial input (F-connector) for each input, SAT and VHF/Antenna. Simply connect the satellite coax to the SAT side and the antenna to the VHF side. At the other end, where your receiver is, connect a short cable from each to the appropriate F-connector in the back of the Dish box. Hopefully that is what you are wanting to do. Good luck!

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)

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 should work but I am not sure if you can access this function without the DISH subscription as you would have to first scan in the OTA channels. Good luck!!

I really dont know the answer for that question. I recieve all channels in my area

I doubt this will work, the Dish receiver usually won't let you do anything without active service. That being said, why not just use the tuner built in to your TV? another option would be to buy a stand alone sling box.

Only for fee based satellite reception. Dish TV however, will let you activate or deactivate whenever you want so you only pay when you are using it. As a side note, you can get local stations when you are on the road by calling in with the zip code of where you are at the time. Only when activated tho. Hope this answers your questions. Lee

This satellite dish is not for HD Receiver, you will need to order the HD dish. Dish also offers a smaller receiver box for campers. The reason I know this is my brother has HD service from Dish and uses this set up while camping with our family, works very well and Dish customer service is good about assisting camper folks like us. Hope this helps!

I have no idea but usually these types of things dont draw much power. of course you would need both the receiver and dish and of course the 2 would draw more than one but once the dish is found the signal I would think its power draw would be minimal. Would be interested to know though.
