Satellite TV Question

[GSwaim]

HD under dome with Dish Network is possible but there are many issues with this setup causing you to do timely mantenance and configuration. This is due to Dish Network having two different sets of satellites depending on your location (East or West). An owner must load keys for east or west coast satellites and program thier satellite system to point to the right satellites. Then there has to be multiple Check Switch test performed on the receiver to get the auto toggle feature to work for the master receiver. Oh BTW, this configuration is also limited to one receier tuner since there is the problem with two receivers or the dual receiver PVR causing conflicts with the system when one tuner wants a different satellite than the other. Overall I find most people end up giving up with all of this because of the lack of dependability and heavy maintenenace.

I'm a satelltie dealer for all brands of mobile satellites and both Dish & DirecTV. I get both services for free and have all the equipment to recofigure the system when needed and I won't even put up with the hassle of using Dish Network HD under a dome. Just my two cents.

Dish Network's policy on locals doesn't include changing your service address each night you stop. That doesn't mean you can't do it but don't be surprised if you call and they say we can't change your address again when they see you have changed it everytime you move to a new location. Personally, I would hate to purchase a mobile satellite system with full intent of getting locals everywhere I go as well as satellite programming, then find I have to do manintenence on my system to make it work before watching TV tonight and then get "I can't change your local service address" when I call Dish Network.

Jim, has your KVH been dependable with this setup?
