If money were no object (that would be nice) , what would your satellite tv system for your RV look like? Please give me your top 1-3 choices.
Thank you.

Thank you.

First, it would cost nothing. Second, it would require no antenna and no setup. Third, it would have perfect reception everywhere. Now, what were you really asking?
Its a "dream system." But seriously, what is your question? There's only 2 providers out there. They both have questionable customer service, and approximately the same products and prices. The 3rd party equipment boils down to automatic or manual aiming, fixed or movable dish. Pick your desired system.
interesting thread. Since we're just dreaming, here's my dream system:
receiver
antenna
- 3 tuners - this would allow for taping 3 programs at once or use each tuner independently on each of up to 3 tvs at once
- 3 hdmi outputs
- 3 component outputs
- 3 rf outputs
- 2 tb internal hdd
- usb port that is compatible with hdds with any capacity
- smaller receiver with less heat generation
- 3 rf remote controls
- input for off-air antenna
- integration of off-air signals and integration of those channels into the guide
- logic that can deploy, aim and peak motorized winegard batwing off-air antenna
coach
- roof mounted - auto-aiming
- feed horn / lnb system that works on direct/dish/bell systems with minor reconfiguration but no additional parts purchase
- 6 identical outputs
- large enough to further minimize rain fade (maybe 1.5 meters and with perforations to minimize becoming a sail in the wind)
- super-ruggedized gearing to minimize movement in winds
- incorporation of 18" fiberglass wifi and 3g/4g cellular antennas that are deployed at the top of the dish
- available in colors (white, grey, tan and black) to better blend with coach roof
- shelf depth and width in entertainment center and in bedroom that will accomodate the largest of any brand/type of satellite receiver
- ac and dc power receptacles at above locations and in storage compartment just inside door side baggage door
- hdmi cable from tvs in entertainment center and bedroom tv location back to receiver locations
- all 6 dish outputs terminate in the udc into 6 numbered f81 jacks
- 3 coax runs from entertainment center terminating in udc into 3 numbered f81 jacks
- 2 coax runs from bedroom receiver location terminating in udc into 2 numbered f81 jacks
- 2 coax runs from storage compartment just inside door side baggage door terminating in udc into 2 numbered f81 jacks
Satellite dish: Directv satellite dish on the roof that provides HD (currently this does not exist) - we have an external dish that provides HD - very easy setup. One output would suffice with a splitter.
Certainly does!! It's called a Travl'r Slimline for Direct TV...not cheap but it is designed specifically for HDTV...http://www.google.com/products/cata...a=X&ei=0kavTvnNIsu_tgf2uNCgAg&ved=0CFEQ8wIwAQ
