Why does it take so long to get satellite TV?
Very frequently, we found it hard to get a line of sight to satellites because we like to boondock in woods where trees interfere. It also takes an annoyingly long time for the system to acquire a satellite.
Why is my satellite not picking up my signal?
If you experience inclement weather issues or there is lots of precipitation in the air, the satellite often has problems picking up a good signal. This can be a real pain. Here is a good article that explains the many obstructions you can face with satellite connection problems. For us, rain fade was an irritation. But we had bigger issues.
Why are we not adding RV satellite TV?
Way too often, to get that line of sight the antenna needed to acquire the satellite, we’d have to park in wide-open spaces, often leaving us under the hot sun where you and your RV bake. Not fun.
Is there a satellite dish for an RV?
There are satellite dishes out there specially made for RV’s. We had such a system with Dish Outdoors. The advantage of such a system is that the unit uses a small antenna and receiver, and can easily be mounted on the roof of your RV. It is highly recommended that you have this professionally done.
