Re: [A/S] Hunters setup

I bought my manually operated (from inside the AS) dish a couple years ago 
from these guys:

At a much better price than I could find at any RV store. It is the 
standard WineGard product. Currently:

RM-4600 MANUAL DSS RV ANTENNA SYSTEM NOW ONLY $159

I don't remember if I had to pay shipping. Probably so. I got the deluxe 
edition with the broadcast antenna atop the dish, but wouldn't do it again. 
It was about $60 more and I don't think I have ever used the broadcast TV 
feature.

NOTE - the standard manual dish can get only one satellite at a time. To 
receive ALL the channels on either DISH or DIRECTV you need to access two 
satellites. This takes either the dish intended for home use and sold by 
DISH/DIRECTV with the deluxe receiver, or some means or moving your RV dish 
back and forth between these satellites. It appears the WineGard RM-8000 
(at about $800) will cycle back and forth as needed.

I always carry an extra portable dish, cable,  and tripod with me in case 
the one atop the AS is blocked.
