RV Satellite TV

RV Satellite TV – What You Should Know

Differentiating the services offered by the major satellite TV services is really difficult and so the available programming packages actually determine individual choice. You should closely look through the different channel offerings to make your choice as one may carry a favorite show while the other excels at sports. The prices for programming packages vary and a selection for what one wants and the amount one’s budget will handle is possible. Service fees charged on a monthly basis range from $30 for the basic package to more than $90 for more than 250 channels with HD service. Here’s a comparison of DISH vs. DIRECTV, plus an overview of DISH Network and DIRECTV. One reason most RVers choose DISH is that it has traditionally been friendlier to them. A good second reason, which can really be a great cost-saver for those only in need of RV satellites TV during summer, is that Dish is, at this time, the only provider of a Pay-As-You-Go plan where you are allowed to turn on your service for a month at a time. You would simply have to purchase your own equipment and not lease. With Direct TV you are allowed to hold off your service for about 6 months in any 1 year period. But this means you would still be paying for a few months of services you may have no need of. RV Satellite TV Overview This is a subscription service contracted for monthly fees. One is required to have a satellite antenna (dome or dish) with which to capture signals and a receiver (either bought or leased) with which to process the signals for your TV. The cost of equipment for a single satellite system can be as much as $1800 for an automatic RV satellite dish or an in- motion dome system and as low as $100 for a simple tripod- mounted dish. You may lease or purchase the receiver from the satellite provider which is just extra. Upon purchasing certain new RVs you will discover they are pre-wired for RV satellite TV service or equipped with a satellite dome. You may still have need of contracting with a satellite TV service to utilize some of the equipment that may be present in some used RVs. It can get quite frustrating setting up for RV satellite service. Many of the local satellite dealers barely know a thing about mobile satellite services for RVs while many others will not even work on them. A clear view of the southern sky is a necessity for every type of RV satellite TV as the satellites are located over the Equator, very much due Southern Texas. The satellites may not be visible from the location of those who love camping nestled in the mountain valley or under trees, meaning there will be no satellite TV available. Both your choice of campsite and equipments are affected by this requirement. To place more things in the path of the signal as you move northward, the satellite dish should be pointed lower in elevation resulting in an upward angle. To get all you want, you may have to get signals from a number of satellites and you must ensure you get the right satellite(s) and programming for you current location. Most of these chores can be handled by automatic equipment but at a price.
