Awesome... The hard drive isn't a problem. I've got 1 and 2 TB drives laying around and external, self-powered carriers to spare...

Hopefully, y'all can confirm or refute what I found in a different forum: A Wally receiver when used with any of the portable dome dishes can only receive one satellite channel plus two OTA channels with an optional USB adapter. The Wally can also be configured as a DVR with the addition of an...

Nice... Sounds like, if the information here is accurate, this is doable with a reasonable amount of angst! Other than not being able to get the locals through the dish, which is the same problem we've always had with Directv. Long as the OTA dongle brings in all the available channels...

I suspected this would be the case... So Dish does the same thing Directv does - it's changing the service address which means the system at home is totally screwed for locals if you change it to get locals where you are. I was hoping Dish was more accomodating but figured it wasn't. Are most...

Brussam, as far as I know, I haven't found ANY portable (or fixed) dome that will provide HD on Directv. All I've ever found is one's that'll do HD on Dish and only SD on Directv. And since Directv keeps threatening to shut off the SD, I figure that's a good excuse to move to Dish if I can do...

George is moving a little slow these days! But, Gracie Allen the cat is doing just fine! She does most of the posting and a lot of the online shopping! Just for giggles, I figured I’d try one of the recommended (by the Internet) Dish distributors, so I called Solid Signal after posting in...

I’ve read so many conflicting things about Dish in an RV that, with apologies, I’m going to drag the dead horse back out and flog it some more… It doesn’t seem like it should be this hard, but so far it’s been confusing. I’m trying to find a reasonable way to switch from Directv to Dish. The...

Again, the service address CANNOT be changed unless Dish can do it such that it DOES NOT adversely affect the Hopper at home… Since I’m periodically gone for 6 – 8 weeks while the spouse is at home, I CANNOT do anything to mess up the home system. So far, no one has indicated I can have Dish...

Thanks for the replies. It sounds like the Wally doesn’t provide any more functionality than the VERY basic capability I currently have, other than being HD. If I use a Wally – it has TWO satellite tuners. And can be a DVR (Hard drives aren’t a problem. I’ve got at least a half dozen 1 – 2...

Every couple years I talk to Dish to see if we can switch from Directv. Currently, home is Genie and a couple receivers. RV is Winegard 1518, HR24 and AM-21 (the thing that takes OTA channels and gets 'em into the DVR. Its not HD, but it works, EXCEPT… Directv, as far as I know, is still making...

I haven't related ALL the various conversations I've had on multiple occasions with various Dish people... Trust me, I've gotten DRASTICALLY different answers from different people, and attempted to confirm what I'm being told, here. Often with the responses in forums indicating that what I...

Interesting.... This is the first time, despite a half dozen calls to Dish, and two to "affiliates" that anyone has mentioned using a 722... As far as the EHD, that's trivial, I've got 1TB SATA hard drives sitting around 'cause they're too small for image storage. If a 722 will let me record...

My concern isn't with the Hopper 3. Or the stuff at home. I presume that'll work similarly enough to what I have with Directv that changing is trivial. My concern IS with what dish is capable of when I'm traveling... Yes, we use the DVR EXTENSIVELY in the RV when traveling. For all...

This SHOULD be simple... I think........ Currently have Directv: Home: 3 TVs, Genie, 2 mini-genies (or whatever they're called), record 5 channels of ANYTHING - local or cable - and/or can watch ANYTHING - local or cable concurrently, up to 5 of whatever. As near as I can tell it DOESN'T...
