RV king dome satellite
I have a king dome pro on a class B rv. It does not work very well. Have sent it in three times and still has a problem. Would anyne be able to tell me which satellite I can use on a small rv for direct programming?
Thank You very much

The only sat that dish gets is the 101 but DTV is shutting down the MPEG2 channels and all local channels and will be broadcasting in MPEG4 most nationwide channels and you will need an MPEG4 receiver to get them.

For RVs he will need either a slimline SWM dish to use on a tripod/sled mount or the Winegard Trav'ler. Those are the MPEG-4 options.
His DirecTV box also needs to be MPEG-4, so hopefully he already has H or HR models (or the special R22 in the mix).
This is all from DirecTV shutting down the MPEG-2/SD-only feeds. Like other providers they have to move forward with an HD capable world.
