If one is in a campground that has Dish service, does one need a satellite antenna in addition to this receiver?

What you would want to do is look at the actual dish. If there are 3 LNB's on the dish then you will be golden. All you will have to do if run your coax to the open LNB port. You will have your own service plan with your dish and will have access to whatever you are subscribed to.

That is a good question. A satellite dish can only accomodate so many receivers. That number of receivers is going to depend on how many LNB's the dish has. You are going to have to be independently attached to an LNB. My overall answer would be YES you need your own dish to enjoy programming!

No programming is needed, just call Dish for activation and make sure your dish antenna is pointed correctly.

This is a satellite receiver and you will have to have an active account with Dish Network

Yes, as far as I can tell you need the base station to make the entire system work. The satellite stations are only chargers. You need to base station to connect everything together, but it works perfectly.

No. You have to have a receiver hooked to the tailgater. If you bought a receiver with the antenna when you call customer service when prompted by the setup it will activate the new receiver. You do not have to have existing service.

Due to the low angle needed this might not be the best choice. A stand alone dish would be your best choice. I own an RV repair service so feel free to call me anytime with questions. Shayne.Two Zero Eight Two Five One 9543

The simple answer is yes. You have to either be a DISH subscriber and add this receiver to your account (about $7 a month as I recall) or use the month to month subscription that some RVers use. You can stop and start as you like but will be charged for that particular month that you use it.

Your Satellite Dish should be DISH Network and it should be an HD Satellite Dish. If these requirements are met along with a DISH network subscription then you should be able to use the 612 Dual Tuner with this system. If you have the Over the Air(OTA) module installed in your receiver then you should also be able to hook up an aerial antenna to your receiver as well to receive your local OTA channels. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Yes you need a satellite dish adjusted to the correct direction, and a few other steps. Like before please refer to fta forums...

According to Winegard it will operate with most Dish receivers. We have some friends that use the Mission with a Hopper but to be safe I recommend contacting Winegard customer service.

I do not think so,but have not tried it. Mine came with the Dish receiver as a kit.

Your system is set up through your box and programming. What local channels you get will be part of that programming and this tripod will have no bearing on what you can see. If you currently have a P.R. local channel you will get it no matter where you set your system up as long as your dish can "see" the satellites you are connected to.

Yes. You will need a satellite dish. At least 2ft diameter for Ku band and 6 to 10 ft for C band. Google C Band antennas.

You do know that this is a WiFi adapter for computers, right? There are no satellite signals involved, just an internet gateway in or near your house. If you are looking for something for Dish TV, this isn't what you want. P.S. it works fine for me, picks up more connections around the neigborhood than the WiFi built into my laptop.

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it. This device is plugged into an open port which I assume the satellite radio antennae would be utilizing. That is just a guess, but that's what I would think from installing it.

I think what you are talking about is the LNB. It is very likely that this is all you need, but I am not sure. I recently bought a Dish Tailgater which finds the satellites automatically and works great. It however will only work with the Dish v211k receiver. I already had that so transition was simple.
