the thing is Called LMB and no you will also need the dish satellite and receiver. to be able to use dish.

the dish and LMB...reason is the angle in which different dishes are bent for an LMB....also LMB's are even made to connect to certain arms, like this LMB will not fit a dish 500.....also make sure it fits the receiver you buy, like the dish trailgaiter sat won't work with a 622 reciever

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.

This RF link transmitter needs to be connected to the DirectTV receiver box via the RCA plugs. I have Dish Network and my receiver box had a separate set of "channel out" RCA plugs which are controlled by the remote. In my situation, the RF Link works great. If you don't have a set of RCA-type "channel out" plugs on your DirectTV receiver box, connecting this RF Link transmitter could be a problem. Per the other responses, the only limitation is that the channel you are watching via the "main" (HDMI output, etc.) from your DirectTV receiver would be the same at the RF Link is transmitting the receiver unit in another room.

Hey guys...the tv isn't the DishNetwork receiver. Of course it will work on the tv if it programs to RCA codes (BTW, DishNetwork remotes are RCA made), the Dish remotes only work on specific "Tv"s, like 1 and 2, because TV2 needs a UHF signal to reach the receiver remote antenna on the back of the receiver, to change channels: that isn't a TV feature .

If that is the old style dish it is not compatible with any of the new receivers. We found that out the hard way and had to buy the new dish for our tailgating needs. And it is not compatible with HD TV

Direct TV equipment will not work with Dish and Dish will not work with Direct Tv it is there way of keeping you with either company.

Yes. It's fully automatic. If the channel you select is on a different satellite it tunes it. You cannot even notice it changed. Also the dish is larger and signals seem to be more robust

Everything you need to receive Standard DirecTV at your RV.-The hardest part is "pointing" your disk to the south for reception. Takes a while to get use to how to do that. Look up the coordinates of your campground for DirecTV signal. They are on the internet. Then point to those coordinates then tweak until you get the reception you want.-This dish is for standard DirecTV reception and NOT (HD) High Definition Cable. Works regardless but you will not be able to get HD channels. Those dishes are considerably higher and hard to find.-You will still get hundreds of standard channels based on your package you bought with the service.-Excellent product once setup.

Yes. it's a different dish and transducer for HD. Not only that, but the DISH HD satellite is in a different orbit, so the dish would need to be realigned to the HD satellite.

Thank you so much for the clear answer. I have been trying to find a universal learning remote to handle my dish dual tuner situation for a while. I thought I had it hear but clearly I don't. Thanks for the help.

If you have a Dish Network Receiver from home the Dip switches must be set for Dish Network inside the Carryout befor it will come up. The Carryout Instructions will tell what ones to set. If you have Direct, the Dip switches must be set for Direct. Remember you must reset the Receiver to work with the Carryout. Do you know how to do the reset? It is a long process and I have it down pat.

I am not sure I don't have Dish Tv. Plus I had returned since I didn't understand how to use it. My apologies.

I am not certain on this particular receiver, but we ended up switching to Dish because we were not able to get our local channels and also could only get half the channels because our Directv receiver only received one satellite.

You can't just swap your regular Dish satellite receiver with the Hopper. You need a Dish man to come to your home & replce your satelite & connections.

Not sure on dish but Directv works on home receivers, i have 2 different ones hdmi and the other is rca type.

Answer: YES. the dish itself works with everything EXCEPT the new DIRECT TV Genie system. On the Genie, the transponder must be changed out. But DIRECT TV installation man can swap that part out.

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

Check out the Winegard web site. As I remember the (r) designates use for Dish only and the absence of the (r) means you can use the dish for DTV as well..
