DISH Network -adding receiver / Sat to lake dock for a boat ??

[bigjohnok]

If you get it mounted to the dock and aimed correctly, the dock will have to move pretty good to screw up your signal. I have a 1000.2 EA dish on a heavy duty manual rotator on the top of the radar arch on my houseboat. I have seen the back of the boat swing ten feet and not lose signal. Rocking left to right has more effect. I use the rotator and a $15 signal meter to reaim the dish when I take the boat out and tie it up to shore for the weekend.

And, JayStil is correct, the 211 family can be slow to respond to tweaks to the dish. So, I would suggest that you buy a cheap signal meter to help with the initial aiming.

Also if its a permanent dock dont worry about loosing signal but if its one of those floating docks then you could have issues with the dish loosing signal lock.
