In-Motion Satellite Preference

[Gil_J]

For those with in-motion satellite, do you have DISH or DirecTV? Why did you choose one over the other?

[TheGadgetGuru]

I have the DirecTV In Motion system as well as HD service on a separate dish/receiver and I chose it as it was already on the bus when I purchased it. So, I guess i didn't actually choose it! I will say that although it's SD, I do like the fact that it finds the satellite fairly quickly and much faster than the HD system.

I have had Dish for years, mostly because that is what I have at home, so it made sense to just add it to my account. I have the new T4 in motion system from Winegard and couldn't be happier with it. It is much quieter than the older winegard antenna, and faster. For some reason I was under the impression that Direct did not have HD at the time. I am sure I am wrong on that.

Direct in motion here. We have Direct at Home and was able to use an extra box from the house.

Pete u can not get HD in motion with direct. Just when parked.

I like the guide way better on direct and 1 of my favorite channels is not offered on dish...... Velocity

[Pete]

Joe, I get Velocity on channel 246. It is one of my favorite as well. Where are you hanging your hat these days?

Well since u asked...... Monday I drove from Chicago to Aboline to Tonys place to PU the bunk for my Peterbilt. Left 9am monday arrived at Tonys 3 30 am Tues morn. Slept 4 hr. Got up loaded the bunk turned around at 8am local Texas time on Tuesday and drove back to Chicago.

Joe,

Are you bobtailing in that Peterbilt? What's that like?

[Joe Camper]

Well...... it has no 5th wheel. I think in order to be bobtailin it has to be in a semi tractor with a 5th wheel plate with nothing on it. So no, I'm not bobtailing im stylin. Lol

The camper with all the wheelbase and a single rear axle vs 2, is for sure the best riding pete I've ever drove.

Took the van with a u haul trlr to get the bunk. Athough the pete gets great Mialage this trip was a turn n burn and the van gets better.
