We have Dish Tv at home and use one of the receivers on the road. We have a single LNB on our RV dish. The problem with DISH tv is the signal comes from two satellites. A DISH receiver requires a dual LNB and a skew setting on the dish. As I understand it the dish has to be set for elevation, azimuth (bearing) and skew, which is actually cocking the dish at an angle after bearing and elevation is set. Without this feature, only one satellite can be picked up at a time. So when we want to go from one satellite to the other we have to change the bearing about 10 degrees. Kind of a pain. The local stations are on one satellite and most of the others such as HBO, cable news channels, etc. are on the second satellite. Wyngaard doesn't provide a crank up antenna that can incorporate skew. All said, DirecTV is the simplest. One satelitte and one setting.........wish I had DirecTV but too much invested in the DISH home system with High Definition, etc. Whewwwww...sorry for the long post........
