Don't we all.

Two choices only.

Dish has a good RV Support Dept. Direct has a better sports package. Dish can get HD over portable automatics, Direct can not. Both are too expensive.

Check the year of manufacture if you plan to use dish. They changed their signal a bit and messed some stuff up in our industry.

One of my favorite subjects LOL.


DIRECT TV=get sunshine blowed up butt....and money extracted. If you ever need customer service learn foreign tongue and take some aspirin. Now affiliated with AT &T, so may need some Preparation H also. DISH NETWORK= Get candy blowed up butt....and money extracted. If you ever need customer service learn foreign tongue and take some aspirin. Not affiliated with Verizon yet but don't hold your breath too long. When you switch from DTV hold on to the tube of Preparation H.

Too much money for either? Absolutely. But a damn bit cheaper than our cable provider and get a ton more channels both SD and HD.
