My Tailgater works just fine for me in my Travel Trailer. I have the Hopper System at home plus my VIP 211 on a separate feed in my computer room. That way my VIP 211 is always up to date. I just take the VIP 211 receiver from my house to my RV when I am on the road. Dish allows you to have...

I upgraded to the Dish hopper system. I had a 500G usb hard drive on my old 722. When I connected it to my computer, I could not format it. Did not recognize it. Any ideas on how I can format it for my computer (Windows). Or do I now have a 500G paper weight?

Is the Dish Network ES123804 IR to UHF Converter compatible with the VIP 211k receiver? The IR Remote does not work through two walls from the receiver in my computer room to the TV in my bedroom. The VIP 211k does not support UHF and does not have a remote antenna. It also does not support...

My primary receiver is a VIP622. I use it in the single TV mode with PIP. It is in my Family Room with my HD LCD Flatscreen. I have another smaller HD 19" LCD Flatscreen in my eat-in Kitchen connected by coax. It is approximately 25' feet from the receiver to the LCD TV in the kitchen...

If they have an RV waiver.

How soon before the other conus DNS feeds go to spot. New York? Kinda spoils any plans to "move" to get the conus feeds, doesn't it?

That's true in a "Black & White" world. Unfortunately, things are rarely that way. There are always "Grey" areas. It's who ever has the most political clout that seems to get "their" way. Right, wrong, fair, or unfair. that's the way it is. One of America's strengths is that we find ways to...

How did you handle the phone connection issue? I'm thinking about "moving" to NY from Kansas. Obviously not the same area code. My locals suck. Don't need them - have basic cable. Also have an RV, so no locals on the road. I'm thinking that with a NY address I would get the NY stations...

I'll let all know how long it really takes. I submitted the RV waiver on December 5th. I would be curious to know how long it takes other RV owners.

What's the differenc. What's the difference between a lawyer and a Carp?:confused: One's a scum sucking bottom dweller and the other's a fish! :D Looks like there are very few fish swimmng in this pond!

So EchoStar is saying all it want's to do is provide DNS service to those subs who can't get a local signal and the RV community's only choice is NPS if you already have Dish equipment? I thought RV's & OTR Truck drivers had the same rights as static subs who don't get a local signal? If I...

Where does this leave the RV community?

Filled out form on NPS (AllAmericanDirect) website. Said I needed waivers. Faxed their RV Declaration Form filled out with copy of my RV Title and Registration Receipt. Called them today to check status. Asked for my home phone number and my address info was in their system. Asked about the...

What kind of reception do you get? I'm hearing some not so good.
