[hitchup]

No way to update the Winegard Dome that was an option on Suites up through 2009. Supposedly, the MV3500 was HD capable (with an extra box) for Dish.net and had 2 wires, but not HD capable with DirecTV. I think it was the same model as we had on our 2006 ES.

We ordered our unit with HD dome (Traveler wasn't available then) and could only use it for with SD receivers. We could use the roof antenna to get local Networks in HD, but we couldn't tape anything for later viewing. Since it was difficult to find DTV HD satellites, we also went back to the SD DVR's. Nearly 2 yrs later, we upgraded the Dome to the Traveler Dish and both the DVR's to HD DVR's a few months later.

For us, it's been worth it since we're fulltimers. DH removed the Dome, but found he couldn't use the same wiring, so had to run the wires and put the control box in the coat closet instead of the entertainment cabinet. Power cord runs from control box down into basement.
