I just saw this morning the CEO of Dish Network showing their new DVR (The Hopper) receivers that will record 6 shows at once. One nice feature, The Hopper DVR also does not require an internet connection to download on-demand content. Customers can download up to ten movies a day via satellite. So that will be a beneficial to RVers.

David removed our Winegard dome last year and replaced it with the DirecTV- Traveler SK-3005. But we're happy with it.

We switched because the dome signal would continually get blocked by snow or dark clouds/rain. We've found the Traveler also loses signal strength when the wind is blowing strong. But learned to go back to menu and show SD stations and we're good.

6 mos after we upgraded to HD DVR's, we upgraded the 40" LCD to a larger 46" LED TV. Picture is so much better in HD than SD.
