Dish Network versus Direct TV

[Tom McCarthy]

I have DirecTV in my coach with a KVH L3 in-motion dish. The only
way to get it to work was to install a Radio Shack power supply for
the receivers and dish. Running off the inverters directly could not
keep the power steady and clean for the software. I have never had a
problem since and it has been 4 years since we figured this out.
Probably does not help your house problem but when you get to the
coach install, remember the power supply.
