Satellite dish, hopper and joeys installed yesterday. Had a conectivity issue for the bedroom TV and the outside TV. So today they upgraded the hopper to a hopper w/sling at no cost to me. The sling allows us to watch our recorded shows from anywhere in the world that has internet! Who would've thought that?
One touch button, the dish unfolds and raises up and then seeks out the three satellites....all automatically. When we move, it folds back down flat on the roof top so it actually ends up lower than the three A/C units.
Had it mounted on the very front, directly behind the front cap for a couple of reasons. First off, my toy hauler has the forward living room and we wanted to penetrate the roof inside and behind the stereo and TV cabinet. The TV raises up out of the cabinet and so the cables are hidden and a very short cable run on the roof.
The second reason is because with a mounted dish, trees in the older RV parks will often block satellite reception. With the dish located at the very front, less likely to have interference from trees as RV parks do not have trees at the front of the RV space near the drive lane. In this case, it's the advantage of the forward living room.
