Not that I’m thinking of going satellite, but out of curiosity, Fred, are the latest dome models less susceptible to rain wettened dome surface signal interference? That used to be an issue oft complained about, and people were tending toward folding open dish units. I recall some had to regularly coat their domes with silicone or wax to make water bead up and roll off.
Our coach came with a Kingdome In-motion with Direct-TV, but we never found our travels so boring as to make the cost of a subscription worthwhile. Aside from my checking out DirecTV’s intro cast once or twice long ago, it’s never been used. The fact that it zeroed in on its own to the satellites was cool. Parked in one place for months, like snow-birding away from antenna broadcast range, things might be different, and we could perhaps justify fees.
Parked here by the house, I’ve considered going to a modern dish (the original but unused one was defunct years ago and won’t even provide DirectTV’s old intro), getting Dish Pay as You Go, and running a coax from the Coach to the nearby cable TV input box on the garage. So far, however, there’s enough broadcast and wi-fi streaming to more than eat up our already too extensive boob toob time.
That doesn’t dissuade me from being curious.
