There is none.  But I guess Carlos likes hunt for programming.

Bingo.  Even if you have the Internet bandwidth, you don't have the features of a satellite guide.

Are you saying the space between the plates that the rubber springs are bonded to are only 1 inch apart?

Since the spring plates should work in a parallel fashion, the plates should not close on each other.

If you are in fact seeing a 1 inch spacing between the plates, I would be calling MOE/ryde.  

Out trailer is 13 years old with about 90,000 miles and the rubber spring spacing is the same as new.  We did replace one spring several years ago because we has a slight bonding failure.

Photo of when we replaced the rubber spring.  You can the normal spacing of the rubber spring plates.

My first location was under a shelf above the refrigerator as in the second picture in Inverter/Charger;

Later I cut a hole in the dash above the radio and installed the display there.

You should have seen the hype with Motorola's low earth world-wide cell phone service many years ago.  The only way it survived was the CIA writing a huge check.

True, low earth satellites will have lower latency than the geosynchronous satellites but that is assuming you will be transversing one satellite but is all probably you will bounce around a few between you and the website you want.

And streaming video uses about the double the number of bits compared the one-way satellite feed after packeting, and required reverse response.

Patriot Act never required banks to have physical addresses for accounts.  The banks were just too lazy to deal with virtual addresses.  Patriot Act is still in effect.

Too many places in this country where there is not broadband Internet and the dreams of low earth orbit satellites have been around for a long time and still are dreams. 

I have updated my four PCs three days ago and six at the store  I look after yesterday without and real problems.

Locally, I made a USB Update drive.  There was an issue with PCs with other attached drives which was easily solved by copying the contents of the USB drive to local disk and running the update from there.

At the store, I created an .iso image file and moved it around the PCs for the update.

People with East and West Coast DNS feeds are grandfathered from the time before DirecTV started to limit DNS to the Coast of your Billing Address.  The FCC has the say on this.

I do not know how you think you changed your DNS location.  Or are you talking about the location for your Locals?  That is an entirely different issue.

I have a Winegard Trav'ler on the Travel Supreme Trailer that I installed in 2010 and it is still working fine.  When I purchased my 2016 Bounder, I installed a new Trav'ler on it.

The Bounder Trav'ler failed just after the warranty ran out.  I though it was from excessive use because I had put a Hybrid LNBF head on the dish and that generation  Trav'ler did not handle well.  Winegard fixed the Trav'ler under warranty.

I have since added a DPH-42 Hybrid Switch which made the Trav'ler with a standard LNBF work like usual.

But I have noticed that several Trav'ler are failing in the 2+ year timeframe. Perhaps Winegard had a bad batch of Trav'lers?

First I totally back data redundant storage. Local copies allow for recovery from operator errors.

But as a long time consultant of protecting data centers, the major item missed by most planners is the loss of the facility.  In this case, the RV is highly at risk.  RV burn like crazy.

Any day duplication on local storage will go with the fire.  Cloud storage has become a relatively low cost option to off site back up.

Most of what RVers store on disk is irreplaceable. Financial records are obvious but it is really hard to go back and reshoot photos.

Cloud storage isn't free.  There is the storage service and then there is the data bandwidth to send the data to the cloud.  But what is the value of your data?  But you can shop and minimize the cloud storage cost.

Even if your have off-site backup during the off season, can you afford the lost of several months of irreplaceable data

Don't just ask for a city.  Find a campground in the area and use the address of the campground to change your Service Address.  That is an obvious reason to be changing your Service Address.

Just asking for a city is an obvious "move" and against the law.

A Tailgater is a dome dish that is limited to certain single-tuner Dish Receivers.  As a dome, it has only one LNBF so only one satellite can be seen at a time.  Sine the Tailgater can only be used with a single-tuner receiver, that is reasonably okay.

A Winegard Trav'ler is a roof mounted automatic dish with three LNBFs so all three satellites are locked in and any satellite can be used at the same time.  This is important for multiple tuner receivers and most importantly for DVRs. 

There used to be a one-time charge for turning a VIP211 into a DVR, $40 as I remember.

Yes I meant disk, the eyeballs are getting tired.

K5RCD- 

Thanks!  I have a Hopper, but don't have DVR capability.... I don't think.  I'll look into this.

 

A Hopper is a DVR with multiple tuners.  The dish is built in.

It is nature's way of filtering the gene pool.

When we got a jury summons, we contacted our mail service, My Home Address.  Then sent us a printout of what to say on the jury call form, exactly what to say.  We sent in the form and never heard from the jury people again.

A mail service is more than just mail.  They are you representation in the state. Ours handle vehicle registrations for us too.

DNS is an exception allowed from the FCC for RVers and OTR truckers and the provider, DirecTV or Dish, are supposed to verify the vehicles annually.  Apparently DirecTV has been lax is is under scrutiny from the FCC.

A bunch of years back Dish failed to certify their DNS subscribers and the FCC jerked their right to offer DNS for a couple of years.

The exception of DNS is for those who cannot receive Locals.  So by the nature of the exception you cannot have Locals and DNS at the same time except under some incredible tight situations.

No it is more as issue of the TPMS sensor and valve stem being in the slipstream which will affect the temperature reading of the air in the tire.

If your TPMS is reporting high temperature, it should also be reporting high pressure.  That is the Gas Law.

Stop and try to determine what is causing the tire to heat up beyond the normal limits. Is the hub extremely hot?

Domes are a waste if you want good satellite TV.  Both Dish and Direct use multiple satellites to deliver their HD programming.  Domes are limited to a single LNBF and in the case of DirecTV, that LNBF is not compatible with HD programming.

Aiming a dish is dependent on your tools.  Starting with the tripod.  A tripod with adjustable length legs allows the mast to be vertical on rough terrain where most RVing happens.  I recommend the HD Tripod from TV4RV.com.

A vertical mast is imperative because you are moving a dish in three planes.  If the mast isn't vertical, any movement of one axis will also change another.

Using a see-through smartphone app helps to find holes in the trees.  But do not believe you can aim the dish using the app.  The dish views from the center of the dish and you can't look through your phone from that point.

Also the arm of the dish does not point toward the satellite.  The signal path bounces from the LNBF at at 15 degree angle from the dish surface.  Since the dish is usually twisted on its access, the actually signal path is to the right of the dish arm.

A smart meter makes live so much better.  Smart in the process of positively identifying the satellite you are focusing on.  A simple $20 meter will give you a signal strength but you can be on the wrong satellite.

Even though I have a Winegard Trav'ler automatic roof dish, I carried and used often a ground tripod for times when I wanted to use Dish's Eastern Arc Satellites

We used a reel of LED self stick strips.  We originally acquire some plug-in connectors but chose not to use them.

We soldered the connections to the strip which was pretty easy after getting the hang of it.  We put 6 strips in each housing to get more light.

Here is a page of our conversions. Led Light Conversion.

In later conversions, we did remove the ballast card to get it out of the way.

We have been using PressurePro since 2006.  

Do a little searching in this forum for tons of entries on this subject

It might be something else.  Here is Retama I have a 50 MBps cable modem connected to the router.  At times my PC drops its speed down to about 5 MBps.  All I have to do is disconnect from the router and reconnect.  It is a Windows 10 WiFi issue and I haven't come up with a solution yet.

The wired to the router PC doesn't have this problem.

Yes Dish will not do a service call on a house with wheels.  They will do an install but not a service call.  No logic on this one.

But in 13 years, the only call I made was for a bad HDMI port on a VIP622 and that was handled over the phone.  I just assume as an RVer, it is my job to fix things or trouble shoot them.
