Well I went to both Winegard and DirecTv today.. By phone I mean.. Winegard says that yes, I can use my carry out with their SWIM 8 "splitter" it will convert the signal to SWIM which can then be used by the Genie and it's clients.. Was also recommended to just "Carry Out" the equipment from...

Roy.. Decided to take the bull by the horns and called DirecTv this afternoon. Talked to 4 different people.. All were nice enough but the sales people couldn't really help me.. Finally hooked up with a very knowledgeable lady in the protection department (I subscribe) who was more than helpful...

Hi.. I need a new dish anyway.. I was going to go with a Winegard Trav'ler so I could get HD.. Otherwise trying to figure the rest out.. ? Ron

Roy.. That really doesn't confuse the picture any more.. I really don't want another subscription.. I pay enough for the one I already have.. Don't mine the additional client charge but another $80 or so a month would stick in my craw.. You make a lot of sense by saying just carry them in and...

Rad.. No it only has two outputs The Carry Out I mean.. As I said this is way too complicated.. I just want it all to work.. It also sounds like having 2 accounts may be WAY too expensive.. Plus I wouldn't have the options I carry on my home account.. So maybe no Genie for the house... At...

Bob.. Sorry I didn't mean to confuse you.. Hell I am confused enough on my own! Somewhere here I said I have been a DirecTv customer since 99.. At that time I couldn't get locals on Direct. I also could not get proper reception over the air (I live in the mountains). So I went through the...

Well it's a 40 foot coach.. But it would only be about 25 feet to the furthest client.. And maybe 2 walls... The inside walls are just wood and dry wall.. Or something like that.. I don't think anything more exotic. The one outside is maybe 10 feet and it has an aluminium frame and thin luan and...

Rad.. No I should have said I understand that a cable will have to go from the Dish to the the equipment.. I knew that.. Its from the Genie to everywhere else that the problem now lies.. Can you tell me... You mention an external swim module.. Will this convert my Carry Out signal to a swim...

Rad.. I am looking to run the wireless networking in my motorhome.. Obviously stringing new cable there would be problematic! The coach has 4 TV's that would be in 3 zones.. Front and Mid coach, Bedroom and outside entertainment center. It might be that I would run the outside and bedroom...

Roy.. So if I understand you correctly the Genie client isn't locked into the clients or matched or whatever.. So if I had clients inside the house and clients in the coach it would just be a matter of carrying the genie in and out. What if I had wireless in the coach? Would the transfer still...

Roy.. ? I saw that thanks.. Just wanted the rest of the group to know about this.. They may not look at a Motorhome question!

Roy.. Yeah, I also have to figure out how to get the equipment for my coach.. I guess I could have it installed in the house and schlep the Genie back and forth.. But then have to obtain the clients for the coach.. That is too much schlepping..

Wow that would be great.. I am looking to install a Winegard SWM Trav'ler dish on the coach with a genie.. This would be slick! I could run my old cabling during the time when I was blocked by trees and use my carry out dish and the wireless all other times.. Sweet! ? Now I have to figure out...

Roy.. That is all I can hope for apparently.. Just want to be able to get local news.. I get East and West coast feeds of networks so I really don't have to worry about the regular shows.. Some apparently think that Directv will go back to the normal scanning at some point.. Did you see my...

Hi All.. Just got off of the DirecTv site as I am looking to upgrade my home tv network. When I went to the upgrade section it shows the "New" wireless Genie client available.. Does anyone know if this is true? This is what I really want to use in my motorhome! ? Ron Husak
