TXiceman Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 With a roof mounted system, if you park under or close to trees to the south, SSW, you cannot get a signal. With a portable antenna, just move it from under the trees.

JRP Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 It all depends on how you define "will work". the Winegard G2+ is a "dome" Sat dish, and like all domes, it will only work in SD not HD. a dome uses DTV sat 101 only. So it may work with your genie, but not for any HD use. Go to the source, read this Winegard document on how to hookup a dome dish like the G2 for use in a SWM sys (page 5) http://manuals.solidsignal.com/SWM840.pdf as far as the mounting. the whole advantage of a portable carry around dish like the G2 is being able to position it where it gets a clear view. so mounting it on a roof somewhat defeats its purpose. it is self supporting, intended to sit on the ground. PS: DirecTv has announced they intend to kill sat 101 and end all SD service by 2019 time_traveler, on 12 Jul 2016 - 10:02 AM, said:time_traveler, on 12 Jul 2016 - 10:02 AM, said:time_traveler, on 12 Jul 2016 - 10:02 AM, said:time_traveler, on 12 Jul 2016 - 10:02 AM, said:I bought my trailer from Dennis Dillion RV they said For Direct TV genie the Winegard G2 would work I just called Camping World who has it on sale and they said only system that would work was the Wingard traveller?

nana25k Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 http://www.winegard.com/carryout According to the company website it DOES support HD reception. Which is one of the reasons we will soon be buying it Ron & LindaClass of 20072000 Monaco Diplomat 2005 Honda Element"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" Theodore Roosevelt"We can't control the wind, but we can adjust our sail""When man gave up his freedom to roam the earth, he gave up his soul for a conditioned ego that is bound by time and the fear of losing its attachments."

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 http://www.winegard.com/carryout According to the company website it DOES support HD reception. Which is one of the reasons we will soon be buying it It supports HD with DishTV and Bell TV only. DirecTV is SD only. That is what is says on the website if you read it totally. No dome dish, ground or roof support DirecTV HD programming.
