The unit we purchased has the in-motion satellite antenna and a direct TV box.
Called Direct TV and they say since it's in an RV have to talk to Wineguard.
Talked to them they cannot reactivate the box.
Have to start a new account and start a two year contract.
Don't want to do that as most of the time it won't get used.

For you that have satellite, how do you do it.

Thanks
 
We have Dish and it is month to month so if we are not going to be using it we just don’t pay and they turn it off until we turn it back on.

Think it is called Dish Outdoors for the plan we are on. Just update locals through the app when we move as well.
 
I had DTV years ago and I just took a box with us when we traveled. I had a dish on a tripod. I’m sure they dont allow that these days. It was a pain. I tried to get a dish installed when we purchased our motorhome in 2020. I’m glad now it was had to do. We use Starlink now.
