Is anyone using Dish TV on the road... I am not FT yet but we are spending the summer at a campground in our 5th wheel...I have called Dish TV twice now and have gotten different answers for the same 2questions... How much will it cost and how do I get it installed? I have an account with them and have two receivers... I would like to take one of the receivers and have a portable dish placed at my camper...do I have to have them come do this ? One tec told me that there would be no extra charge to my present bill except to purcahse the dish, an other told me it would be a new account and I would be paying 34.00 a month for the service.. I just am trying to get my DH a few hours of TV time on Sunday mornings..any help would be great Thanks..patti

I don't use Dish or Directv but I do have friends that have it. From what they have told me, you just take the receiver from the house and purchase a spare dish (that you must be able to point to receive the signal) mount it on a portable stand to carry in the rv. Your paying for the signal and it's programmed into the receiver/card so it doesn't matter where or when you use it.
I go camping to get away from the tv, computer, etc. I do take my cell phone but it's turned off unless I need it. Happy Camping!
You can find used/new dish units on craigslist/local paper. I have a couple extra laying around that you can have. I took them off of the house after we moved in, I still use an outdoor antenna! I like free TV.
