Ok I've been using satelite for 2 years camping and did some reasearch lots of info on rv.net (i think thats the web site) anyway as far as I know dish is the only one to give you a rv waiver where you d/l the form (i think they call it mobile waiver) just need to send a COPY of a current...

But can I get locals with a 500 dish not a superdish do I need something else.

Yes I know that if I get 105 getting 119 is out of the question. But sometimes local news is important, I could just change it back after the local news broadcast. If I can get my locals with my 500 dish that would be cool. Sometimes I use a batt and inverter sometimes at the state parks...

I go camping quite a bit, I do take a 500 dish and a 311 with me and have distant locals and have no problems getting 119 and most of the time 110, but 110 is not rally much on it that I watch. I would like to know if its possible to get locals in my area (good to keep an eye on the weather)...

You don't need a phone line unless you want pay for veiw. Take one of your receivers like a 301 or 311 and you won't pay one extra penney.

I also take mine camping with me, I found that a satillite finder 10.00 on e-bay 25.00 radio shack makes a real big differnce, with the sat finder it takes less that 5 min to set up. The sat finder really makes it easier. I have never used a level and have always hit both sats. using the sat...

You should be able to get the distants where ever you are, they won't know anyway. We live in el paso tx, and I have the rv waiver and have the n.y distants. I even get them in the house. They are 2 hours differnce but the guide know's it and its the right time. When I go to san antoinio the...

I sure does, I get them all on both receivers

I got E* this spring got an rv waiver and have had sat tv everywhere we have gone. No matter how thick the woods were. Just get a satellite finder (ebay 10.00) and a long rg9 cable radio shack 100 ft 18.00 It should take under 15 mins the first time (I did practice in the back yard one time)...

I had the same thing happen to me. After trying to figure out what to do, how to hook up the surrond sound etc. I called E* got them to reinstall it the way I want and a month free of HBO. You have to be assertive but You can get it fix. If neccessary talk to a supervisor, don't take no for...

I have one of those connected to mine and there is a noticable hum (bad enough I wouldn't try to use as a voice line) and it work just fine for the box. I have had it for a couple of months. You can go to setup and check the phone connection if it sees it its good enough.
