I want to let you all know of another RV-related Yahoo Group that may interest you. (I announced this group here about 5 - 6 months ago, but I want new...
Jim, I followed the link to your group, but am confused about one thing. It shows one purpose of the groups as: "(1) Messages reporting locations where RVers...
Hi Kathleen, I'm not Jim, but will put in my two cents worth here. Parking is just that....you don't put out your awning, you don't put down your jacks, you...
... This is a fair question, but I doubt we want to spend much time on it in a communications forum. The answer is a simple one: The external configuration...
Oh, for me there is no difference .... I see that I don't camp, I only park as I travel across the country. I rarely spend more than one night at the same...
Does anyone here know how DirecTV determines where a given receiver physically is so as to allow pickup of Local Stations or not? I'm relatively new to RVing...
Gary, you didn't mention where you had traveled to when it worked and didn't work. Nor where you receive "local" channels. So we will use my experience for...
Hi Gary, How far away from your home were you on your "previous" trip without locals, and your "last" trip with locals? Even though your posting is off-topic...
From what I understand, it depends on your location. Where we winter in Texas the satellites are close enough together that one dish will pick up all...
We have five directv receivers, two at our house in Las Cruces, two in a Park Model at San Benito, TX, at a big Winter RV Park, and one in the RV. When we go...
We live in the Los Angeles area and on a recent trip to Yellowstone we were able to get our local stations in Montana, more than 200 miles away. Though on one...
Nice system ! are there a lot of changeover fees? Other issues? John ... From: rv_communications@yahoogroups.com [mailto:rv_communications@yahoogroups.com]...
... As others have responded, DirecTV doesn't know where you are, the local signals simply have a limited coverage area. Just as an example, here is a graphic...
are there a lot of changeover fees? Other issues? ... No extra charges that I'm aware of, but it's a bit of a problem calling in each switch. I wish I could...
Several years ago, I had Direct TV (The Dish Network and Direct TV are under the same umbrella company). I asked for local channels. They gave me channels...
DirecTV uses your "service" address to determine which locals you receive. Your receive has nothing to do with it. Most locals are spot beamed and you'll be ...
... Good description, Butch! The most succinct definition I've seen is that used by the Wyoming Highway Patrol. Wyoming allows overnight parking in rest areas,...
Hi Bill, I'm curious. What is the name of the "umbrella" company which owns both Dish Network and DirecTV? Last I heard, Dish Network is (and always has been)...
Would this be the same Umbrella Corporation that unleashed the zombie virus on the world? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbrella_Corporation Sorry, with the new...
Hi Rich, Thanks for the info on picking up local channels as previously stated I have Dish Network, and a satisfied customer for over 10 years. I use only one...
Tom, Not completely true, I bought a used receiver that came from the NY and the old zip code was still on it when I installed a new card, result was NT local...
To receive Direct TV normal and local channels on one oval dish, it will still depend on your location. When we winter in southern Texas we receive both...
Hi Larry, My memory agrees with yours. EchoStar tried to buy DirecTV. Yes, the attempt failed. Around the same time DirecTV took EchoStar to court in Florida...
Hi Stan, Since EchoStar Corp. owns Dish Network I'm not surprised by your statement. Beyond that I'm at a loss to understand the point of your message. Best...
