Portable directv

**tambarnc** · 11-11-2009 06:45 PM

I am somewhat of a dummy but am trying to learn. I am a current directv customer. I want to be able to get Directv while camping in our fifth wheel. I bought a "tailgating kit" that includes a slimline dish with Dual LNB and a tripod. I have an HD receiver(HR21) that I want to use. Can I switch the Dual LNB out and use the new SL5 Slimline Single Wire Ka/Ku Five LNB with Built-In Multiswitch? I will have 2 tv's in the camper.
Please let me know what you recommend.

You can learn A LOT by searching "tailgating" or "RV" on this forum. Short answer is, for a newbie in particular, start with SD and a round dish. The slimline is much harder to align and IMHO unless you have a TV larger than 32" it's not worth the trouble.
