I killed the deal this morning. The lack of sports coverage is too much to overcome.

I feel as though I may have made a mistake going with Dish. To start with, they don’t carry the network that broadcasts my baseball team. I have to find a way around that. Secondly, I just spent literally an hour on the phone with customer service setting up my account. The lady with whom I was speaking with at first was very pleasant, but the last fifteen minutes I was turfed over to some guy in the outdoors division who swore up and down Hopper 3 wouldn’t work with Travl’r and was hellbent on selling me a Wally for the MH. I need a beer.

Thanks for all of the replies!

There appears to be a good base of knowledge here, so I’m going to pose my question. I have been a DirecTV customer for a number of years, and I currently have the Genie II and a couple of mini-genies. I use these in both my house and our motorhome. We will soon be picking up a new motorhome, and I ordered it with a Winegard Travl’r configured for Dish Network. I have been wanting to switch over to Dish for some time, and now seemed like a good time to do it. What I am discovering is Dish Network’s components work a little differently than what I am used to, and I am unsure of what I need. I want my system to be simple and not overdone for my needs. My new motorhome will have a total of six TVs, but I think only three of them will be used regularly: The main salon, the outdoor TV, and the bedroom. I do see a need for the TVs to be tuned to different channels simultaneously. At home, we have two TVs. I want to take my home system on the road as before. We use the DVR function A LOT! I would say that 90% or better of our TV viewing is of recorded programs. Which of the Dish Network components should I be looking to get? Thanks!

Quick question: Is it necessary to mount that switch on the roof, or can it be placed inside the motorhome?

I was on facebook for a couple of years around 2010. It was nice to catch up with some people whom I hadn’t had contact with for a few decades. Then I became uncomfortable with the amount of personal information that was asked of me. I left and haven’t been back. I don’t miss it, and I don’t think I’m missing anything by not being on it. The people who are important to me have my email address. It is my personal belief that those who participate on FB, Twitter, et al., will live to regret it someday.
