sstephenson Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Hi all. New to the forum and new to mobile satellite TV. I just found a nice deal on a Dish Playmaker antenna at a garage sale. It's the one in the attached pic. Now I'd like to finish outfitting the setup for use when I go camping. What else do I need? Looks to me like I'll need: a receiver and remote a tripod coax a Dish Playmaker subscription. What else do I need to make it happen? Also, any good suggestions for websites on setup and operation would be great!!! Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Here's a website to help you set it up: https://my.dish.com/support/products/playmaker/setup I'd recommend the Wally receiver along with the Dish Outdoors service: https://dishoutdoors.com/?st-t=DOPS&utm_medium=dishsearch&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0JiXBhCFARIsAOSAKqDU52UB2Z_w_CXCqjouW8PSc56FfCnfY48cDEUCgWE2KnCC2pAupb0aAhPEEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Edited July 31, 2022 by LindaH Quote LindaH 2014 Winnebago Aspect 27K 2011 Kia Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelinbob Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 I did the same as you and got a good deal on a dome. Then searched for the best price on a receiver with remote. Bought a 50ft cable to connect and called Dish to set up. Phone Number came with the Wally and was surprised how little the extra cost was with my existing account. Extremely easy to use and should have done it years ago instead of fighting with my metal dish on a tripod. Only problem I found is with the dome I got only one TV can be hooked up to it, Our second TV now uses the antenna on the roof for stations available.
