TV Dishes

Go to any RV park and you will see portable TV Satellite dishes all over the campground. The ubiquitous TV Dish is most often mounted either as a permanent mouunt on the roof of the rig or as a stand alone. Most stand alone dishes are mounted on a tripod. I have seen other configurations, the most notible one being one mounted on PVC pipe and inverted to make a lower profile for wind resistance. Many RV'rs with a permanently mounted roof dish will also carry a stand alone dish for times when they are parked under a tree or other obstacle that would prevent optimum signal from the roof mounted dish. They usually have several lengths of cable 25, 50 and 100 feet for various contingencies. If you have comments about your dish or ideas about how to make them more effective or links to other sites with more information, please leave a comment for others. Thanks, and Blessings! Jim

  • We just bought a dish off of ebay, after our friend told us how easy it will be to set things up. We already get DirecTV here at home, so we'll just take the receiver out of the bedroom when we travel. We just bought our TT last month, and the two times we've taken it camping have been very frustrating tv-wise - the antenna barely picked up anything (of course, we were in remote locations). We're SO looking foward to better tv reception!
