Hi looking to get satellite tv on my campsite. I am already a Directv subscriber and understand I can use a box from home. Once I buy the dish and set it up(no idea how), do I call them with a model # to activate? I have no clue how to do this & not handy. Can someone please help. Thanks alot!

I bought one to use with DishTV. It was not compatible, even though I was told it would work. It is well constructed, but I would not buy it again because it won't work with the newer systems.

yes it works great as long as you don't have HD it works regularregular satellite

well i found out that the box is not the reason i cant watch tv it is that my FIOS box requires an active signal or a return signal to push out video. now the hdmi switch maskes the signal retuning from the tv so it reguiers some thing like an XBOX or a google chromecast to push out a signal to mimic the tvs return signal to the FIOS box. I dont know if you dish box requires an active signal to push out media. so i would try contacting dish to see if they can tell you the correct answer.

This satellite dish is not for HD Receiver, you will need to order the HD dish. Dish also offers a smaller receiver box for campers. The reason I know this is my brother has HD service from Dish and uses this set up while camping with our family, works very well and Dish customer service is good about assisting camper folks like us. Hope this helps!

That was the whole reason we bought the unit because it DOES work with DirecTV. Most everyone we ever spoke directly with in the DISH network, never seemed to know what worked and what didn't. We gave up on DISH many years ago.

It talks you thru it. I just got a Gamin with no instructions. Just do what it asks. Plug it in the lighter and set up your home address under home. Just practice in the house. It took me maybe an hour to figure it out. You do not have to attach it to your window or anything. It picks up satellite even if it just sits in the center console. Hope this helps.

lol, i would not have been able to try all the codes, if i had not done those steps..I think you are about 3 steps behind right now. I have tried all the codes that i can find, and none worked to the degree that i wanted, hence my original post...I am looking for the exact code that worked for anyone else with this exact TV.None of the codes i have used, allowed me to use the arrows on the dish network remote to move around the different options on the TV screen. That is what i am looking for.Thanks

Has anyone the answer to this question yet? I just purchased this product and already have the DISH Satellite system. Ideally want to use just one remote, of course.

That is a good question. A satellite dish can only accomodate so many receivers. That number of receivers is going to depend on how many LNB's the dish has. You are going to have to be independently attached to an LNB. My overall answer would be YES you need your own dish to enjoy programming!

My answer is based upon Directv do not know about Dish at all. Not sure about the TVs but the unit can work with 2 receivers. I have a DVR that has 2 receivers in it and it works fine with that.

Yes I have same situation. You can take box to camper it will go thru locating signal and program guide. I had to use a cheap signal meter to set dish up at camper. Also a little tip cover the 2 outside lnb's with foil while finding SATs. Google pointing this dish. Lot's of info..

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.

Only for fee based satellite reception. Dish TV however, will let you activate or deactivate whenever you want so you only pay when you are using it. As a side note, you can get local stations when you are on the road by calling in with the zip code of where you are at the time. Only when activated tho. Hope this answers your questions.Lee

Awesome product...I love mine. You do need the proper dish receiver to operate the dish. The 311 won't work. When buying the KD5500, it tells which receiver will work. I have the 411K. They are well under $100 at Camping World and Amazon.,

Hi, Greg!Your best bet is to go to this page: ClearStream 4 Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna with Mount - 70 Mile Range and look for "A Message from the Antennas Direct Team" way down the page. There, you'll find a phone number and you can call the mfr directly to ask whatever questions you need answered. Before you call, look at your TV set to determine which inputs it has (write those down). If you're planning to use the cables from the dish as the cables you'll use from this antenna, try to read the cable type on the cable jacket and write that down also. There may be an impedance issue that will require a different cable.

Not sure I checked with directv before I bought dish to make sure it worked with my box. Some of the newer dvr HD boxes wont work as per directv, just double check with directv before you buy it.

Not exactly sure of what you're asking. This device will stream the Dish Satellite channels that you already subscribe to to an internet-equipped device. You need a satellite subscription and high-speed internet in your home to be able to stream the channels to wherever you are remotely.
