If you are an RV owner then you may already have a satellite TV system installed in your RV and know the limitations that they have in them. If you are an RV owner and you don't have a satellite TV system in your RV, then you might have a DVD player instead due to the limitations of satellite TV systems in RVs.

Most people who see an RV with a satellite dish on the roof driving down the highway assume that they can use the satellite system any time that they like. RV owners though are all too aware of the limitations in them and they sometimes can almost make having a satellite system in your RV not even worth installing in it.

Now the research engineers at Dish Network have completely changed the way RV owners use their satellite TV systems with the development of Mobile Dish. The first thing that Mobile Dish does that RV owners will be interested in hearing about, is it allows RV passengers to receive and watch satellite TV programming while it is traveling down the highway anywhere in the continental U.S.

There is no need for prerecording or anything else out of the ordinary, because you simply pick up the remote and turn it on and it's as simple as that. There are currently one-hundred channels that are available in the Mobile Dish programming repertoire and Dish Network is planning on adding more in the near future.

The only thing that has to be changed out in your RVs current satellite TV system to receive Mobile Dish is the dish on the roof of the RV which any RV owner will be glad to see gone off the roof of their vehicle anyway. It's replaced by a revolutionary new state of the art low profile antenna that was developed by the research engineers at Dish Network.

It never has to be adjusted and once it is installed you can simply forget about it. Because it is low to the roof and streamlined in design it resists snags from low hanging objects such as tree branches. The way RV owners had to use their satellite TV systems in the past was all backwards because they couldn't receive it on the road where it was most needed, but they could watch all they wanted after they arrived at their vacation destination where it was needed the least.

The Dish on the roof also had to be constantly set up and then taken down and in bad weather this was a real problem if it was at all possible. Dish Network now also gives free Sirius satellite radio programming for your home and your vehicle with their programming packages and Sirius satellite radio programming is that latest technology in radio.

It's commercial free and with satellite radio and Mobile Dish at your disposal this will give you two reliable real time sources for information on changeable weather conditions while you are on the highway this winter season. If you are ready to bring the latest technology in satellite and radio programming onboard in your RV, then let the folks at Dish Network show you how easy and inexpensive it all can be with Mobile Dish.

My HDTV Antenna Horror Story!

Let me take the minute to explain what happened to us when we tried to hook up a HDTV antenna so you won't have to waste your time doing the similar objective. First of all our entire family had always craved a HDTV.

This was a task within it's self. There must be 100 different brands and types to opt from! So we did eventually encounter one that we all agreed upon. After we had set up the TV we learned that we also had to acquire a HDTV antenna to be able to check our local channels broadcasted in HD.

Our original antenna we tried was purchased at the same spot as our TV. After we assembled it unitedly in the garage we carried it inside and up the stairs to the 2nd story window.

We lifted it out the pane and put the 17 yr old on the roof with the antenna. We used walkie talkies to interact between the roof and the family room with the tv. His job was to turn the antenna in tiny increments till the signaling came in.

The problem was we could only get 2 channels at a time coming in clear but never could we get all the channels coming in at one time. So we brought the antenna in, carried it to the garage, dissembled it and took it back to buy a bigger one and go through the complete procedure again.

Once more on top of the roof with the 17 yr old. Twisting and turning and all the while in a downfall storm. It wasn't that bad but still raining all the same.

This went on for virtually a total of 4 nights in the period of December during the cold and rain. We could never get this HDTV antenna to operate so we finally gave up. We brought the big anomaly antenna in again dissembled it and put it back in the car to return.

I was glad it didn't work because it looked horrendous up there on the roof. It stuck out like a tender finger. Then we did some research on the internet and found an antenna that claimed to do everything we needed and the good part was it was cheaper and way way smaller.

Actually in wasn't no bigger than the size of a cake sheet. So we purchased the HDTV antenna and brought it home. No assembly required and we put the 17yr old back on the roof with the walkie talkies again and this time we had a signal before we even tried to alter the antenna.

It was implausible.. we found all the channels coming in crystal clear without even trying to set the antenna in the perfect "sweet" spot that we were use to setting with the previous additional two.

Just by putting it on the roof and pointing it in the generalized direction where the stations were located was all that was required! Seemingly this HDTV antenna was a much higher caliber antenna.

If I would have known this 5 days before, I could have saved all those evenings, the poor kid on the roof and the aggrevation it took for our house to eventually like HDTV!

How do you hook up a large old antenna on the roof to your television?

I live on Long Island and can no longer afford cable for my TV. There is an old large antenna on the roof. I went in the attic and thought there would be a wire of some sort hanging down thru the roof where the antenna is but there was nothing. How do I start and how do I connect it up to a converter box. I have a SONY tv that is 7 years old and have always used cable so I don't even know where to start. Any suggestions?

It is not really worth the expence, time and danger. First if the antenna is old the screws where you would attach the twin lead 300ohm (old style) flat wire will most likely be rusted solid and brake off. Those old antennas where not made very well! Messing with and old one could be an accident waiting to happen. The 300ohm wire will not be cheap either when you have to buy 50 or 100 feet. Then you will need the Digital Converter box that they are giving out the coupons for. You will need that anyway no matter what. You will also need and adapter to go from the old 300ohm wire to the 75ohm coaxial. Any Radio Shack will help you with this.
If I where you a company called "TERK" makes a nice line of what you might call "rabbit ears" but they are much more technology advanced. Forget about that accident waiting to happen on the roof, print this out and show it to the sales person in Radio Shack.
