Which way would you recommend? Oh we have direct tv at home if that helps or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 While I have never used one of the domes, I do have experience with a portable dish and know that it needs to have a clear shot at the southern sky to get TV. With a portable you just carry it to a place not under trees but I don't know how much the domes are impacted by parking under trees. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Dutch_12078 Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 All roof mounted dishes are subject to signal blockage by trees, etc. more than portable dishes that can be usually be relocated to a clear view location. Winegard and King Controls both make portable self aiming dishes that are suitable for DirecTV standard definition signal reception. As a Dish subscriber, I'll leave it up to the DTV subscribers to suggest specific dish models and receiver combinations for portable RV use.
