does this satelite work with any dish receiver?

Hi. I take the Dish Receiver from my Bedroom out to the RV for trips. It is model Vip222K made by Echostar. Do not use the Main DVR for this purpose. The dip swiches have to be set for Dish in the GM-1518. The receiver has to be downloaded to defualt and then programmed for the satelite. If you have problems, I can tell you point by point how to get Dish at a RV camp. Good luck.

It works with Dish network or Direct tv. I use Dish Network, and when I move about in the motor home, I call Dish and tell them my new location so that I can get the local channels. There is no charge for this service.

It does work with Dish, need to researc particular one you have. I work it in DirectV..

Yes , but you should not use a dual tv receiver. I have found them harder to set up.

I do not think so,but have not tried it. Mine came with the Dish receiver as a kit.

This will work with any of the current "Single Wire" dishes and receivers. If your dish has a single wire coming out of it, with a single LNB, you will be fine. It will NOT work with older dishes and receivers.

Yes, the Winegard/Dish receiver will work with the two remaining satellites. Depending upon which satellite you can't receive. you may not receive all the channels or perhaps not HD. We have been very happy in using the Winegard SK-1000 during the last 18 months since we purchased. With the push of one button we can turn it on and it will automatically find all the satellites it can. We have camped in a number of campgrounds and sometimes can find all the satellites even when there are a lot of trees. Hope this helps. Good luck!Norm and Glenna Alexander

As per Dish specs, the receiver will work with the OTA module. I use this same one on a Hopper and am happy with it.

For what it's worth, the instruction manual and the box both say Dish. I seem to remember from my own research into satellites that is only Dish. However, it is really complicated and I found somewhat hard to set up because I wanted it to be temporarily mounted.

Unlike the other two reviewers, I couldn't get the instrument to work at all. Without instructions, I'm not sure if it was me or the device. I tried two others neither of which worked very well. Both were powered by the satelite receiver. The last one I purchased did work to find satelite 110 and 119 but wasn't what I expected when I made the purchase. It was cumbersome to deal with but like I said, it did work (Wingard SF1000). I wouldn't however purchase it again. Not sure what I'll do next time if my dish needs realigned. Hope this helps in you decision making process.

This is what I can tell you. I don't know about the receiver. But it is very hard to find satillites. I ended up buy the Dish network tail gater package. It's the Best! The satillite antena fine the signal automatically. Takes about 7 minutes. I purchased it from Amazon. Please check it out you won't be sorry. Best regards. Ray

I would say it should. Most equipment today works on the same principle and has to pass the power to the LNB. The power pass goes from the Receiver to the Dish. The other side will feed the antenna or other satellite out signal. I had a long post about the power pass but I suspect you know something about it if you are looking at these.

We got one for our motor home, but it should work the same way. Dish was excellent in walking us through the process once your satellite dish and receiver are hooked up.

I use a vip211k receiver and it is easy to set up, works with all three sats.

Yes. It will search and lock in on aa satellite. We use Dish Network and it works fine.

Yes, it works on both direct & Dish. Direct tv is not high def, Dish tv is high def compatible. I was able to use it all the way around the US. I just got back to Oregon. It will pick up the eastern satellites up in Newhampsure also.

I use it w/ DIRECTV hook up in lin move the sat dish get a beep move until i find my DIRECTV Netwerk satelite. Couldn't do it with/out it

It will work work for either dish-dtv, as for HD "I don't have a receiver" but my understanding is the receiver is what converts signal to HD. All the dish does is capture the signal the receiver does the rest. Hope this helps.

I would think so but check the FAQ on Dish Network. Also, this is an exceptionally terrible receiver with many bugs.

It is compatible, however; I continue to have problems receiving all three satellites, thus reducing the number of channels that I should receive. I have spent hours trying to get it right, but only received all channels one time. Use dish on my motor home and it must be set up each time I move to a new location.
