<p>we travel for work doing trade shows 7+ months of the year - including cross-country.</p>
<p></p>
<p>After driving all day, I want to be able to sit down, eat dinner, and watch some tube... not wrestle with a dish for 20 minutes trying to get a signal.....</p>

<p>you should do a youtube on how you did all that, Mike.</p>
<p></p>
<p>same problem still remains for us, we end up in locations where the dish has to be moved to a clearing, sometimes away from the rig</p>

<p>I may be doing the whole "camping" thing wrong, but watching satellite TV when I'm out there is a pretty low priority. There's lots to do besides television -- go for a hike, catch a fish, chat up any neighbors, read a book, paint a picture, do something a little different than the day-in day-out routine of work, sleep, work, sleep.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Then again, I do appreciate having a good internet connection available when I need it.</p>

<p>My simple answer to all auto dish antenna issues are - wtf!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I returned to a manual crank job with a sensor antenna - angle and rotate when parked, done.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I coupled that with a marine omni antenna for OTA from an ocean boat. done.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I bailed on Direct TV a decade ago - Now Dishing it. the manual with pitch meter is fine when parked - OTA from boat antenna is fine on the road.</p>

<p>Automatic antennas are waste - if the family is in the RV why do they need SAT TV? At the least if they are 4GLTE absorbed people they can link the devices to the LCD-tv units and suck bandwidth via the towers.</p>

<p>Maybe there's a way to manually aim it? I would go to the info menu or help and check into it. </p>
