Adding Satellite dish
For info, I have in motion satellite with DISH service in the home and bus as a package deal. Have had it for 4 years in two states of residence. More channels than I will ever watch, Sirius radio, local TV stations, and ESPN Game Plan. It works well.

Don,



I didn't quite understand the part about Direct TV. Was it the part

about Hi-Def. or that it wouldn't work with the in motion unit.

I had Dish Net in the house and when I tried to get it in the coach

they said no way Jose. I asked Direct for in motion service for the

coach and they answered no problem, then gave me a better deal than

Dish for the house, shop, and coach. $98.00 for 180 channels + 50

movie channels, XM and a bunch of other stuff I never watch or listen

to. I can't tell the difference in reception from base station dish,

house and shop or in-motion,coach, they both work great.

significant - they always work less-well than an open-face unit. Why?

Because with satellite, dish size is important, and in-motion have

the smallest dishes of them all. However, if reception while under-

way is an important criteria the compromise may be worth it.

I would not buy any more TV items for home or coach that was not HD-

compatible. For DirecTV that would have ruled out in-motion as well,

although it is at least technically possible to do in-motion TV with

Dish network.
