Skip to ContentSharing is caring!You can use your home dish receiver in your RV but you have to call your service provider to update your service address every 200 miles from the last address you provided.Becasue you’ll loose the local channels about 200 miles from the last service address.If you don’t use your dish receivers for few weeks then it’ll be deactivated and you need to call the DISH and tell it is not in use for several weeks for some reason and they will reactivate your receiver again.I know changing address every time is not a small headache unless we’re camping in any particular location for a long time. That’s the reason why I recommend buying RV specific dish network from DIRECTV or DISH and a good RV satellite-like Winegard Pathway X2 PA6002R that comes with a wally receiver. Its dual arc technology receives both Eastern and Western arcs for maximum HD/SD DISH programming throughout the US in all weather conditions for moving vehicles.Now we are going to solve some doubts related to the home dish and RV and will tell you how to properly do it.ContentsWhether your RV is ready to have in-motion television depends upon which type of antenna are you using and how you are using it.Obviously, for in-motion tv, you need an in-motion antenna like the one that is offered by DISH. It comes with a mound that maintains the stability of the signal while driving. If you want an even much better signal then you should install the antenna as high as possible.To achieve that height you can mount it with a tripod. A Tripod mount will become even more important when you have a standard definition dish instead of a satellite dish, and depending upon the model you have, you might also have to take your dish down when driving.Another benefit of using a tripod mount is if it is summer and you’re at any campground with a shaded parking spot, with a long enough cable of up to 150′ you can extend your dish to the open sky.If you’re using a standard definition receiver, using an 18″ round SD dish will be very easy to tune in. Generally, SD is poor on big screens. Do you have more than one TV in your RV? If yes, you can either add a separate receiver for the other TV and can connect both to the same dish antenna or you can buy a multi-switch receiver to operate more than one TV with a single receiver.The easiest is to buy a separate receiver for separate TV to watch different channels at the same time.It is good if you have coaxial cables connecting the antenna to the receiver and set up a connection between your TV and receiver. Make sure that the coaxial cable should not be longer than 50 feet as the signals could lose the quality.You can use in-motion TV if your antenna has a clear LOS or Line Of Sight to the southwest sky.Yes, you need it! Why? Because when you are headed for an RV trip then at most of the time you may be moving from one locality to another then resting, Let’s say if someone in your family wants to watch TV (Like your 10-year-old child) then you need In-motion HD antenna and an upgraded account, which required an additional fee. When you acceded to Dish Outdoors, the dish will provide you an antenna with the freedom to add up to three set-tops to your account. If you want more than you can subscribe to Dish Mobile HD, in which you get up to three-receiver to your subscribed account.The number of channels will depend upon the plan you choose. Like with DISH if you pay around $50 then you can watch 50+ channels including CNN, HGTV, AMC HD, and TLC for a month. If you pay around $90 then you can watch 190 channels and from 190, 120 will be the top 120 in America.If you pay around $100 then you’ll get 190+ channels including FXX, HSN, Local channels, and the weather channels. If you pay around $110-$120 you’ll get 240+ channels including all of America’s top 200 channels like oxygen, Syfy, bravo, kids channels, and local channels.Like DISH different providers have different prices, channels, and terms of conditions. With Dish, you can go for the cheapest plan and can purchase your desired channels to stream for a month, and can cancel anytime you want.There are two types of satellite antennas you can find on market for your RV. Each type of antenna has different work and a similarity like both antennas can be used for internet. Here let’s look at the difference between mounded or portable antennas with the help of a table.There are many ways to watch your favorite movies and tv shows without buying any antenna and receiver. Here are some ways you can try:According to Hopper’s creator, you can use Hopper 3 in your RV unless it running any close to the current software. It works great with the DPH42 multi-switch. What you need to do is to connect the hopper to a traditional RV dish as you do with any usual dish.There are many benefits of having a hooper mainly when you’re using your home dish receiver Since you can record up to 16 shows all at once which is double that of any other tv recorder and you can watch multiple TV shows in primetime.If you don’t want any hopper then the Amazon Fire TV recast is going to be another good option for you.RVs or motorhomes do not ask for any special TV! Just make sure they have the anti-glare screen to watch your shows in daylight or artificial lighting.Tips on How to make your RV TV anti-glare?You can use the TV antenna booster like a Winegard TV Antenna booster.How does an RV antenna booster work? The antenna itself comes with a built-in signal booster.
