raca-roni 0 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hi fiends,I have a question for you all that have previously stayed at the Fort. Has anyone used satellite TV setups there and how was the reception? We have Dish and will be in the 1700 loop.....Any info would be appreciated...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drafthorsecrazy 10 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 We have Direct TV with a free standing dish. Have always been able to get a signal. Sometimes you have to be creative......bring lots of cable in case you have to set the dish a ways from your RV. PureTcrazy...rita 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Been there alots of times with satellite it is hit and miss. The best thing is have a free standing dish. I have talk to people with roof monted dishes that can never get a signal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

98mickey 5 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hope you have a free standing dish,, because you will not get a signal with your roof mounted dish, last 4 years with our current motorhome,, not happening,, have been in different loops,, sure glad I made a free stand dish and have a lot of cable !!!!

4mickey2 41 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 we've used our roof mounted one in the mh and always got a signal-- without any problems. we also have a sep. dish with a tripod-which we will now be using again with the t/c. we used to use this in the previous t/c's and also always got our signal.

XBoater 8 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 http://www.dishnetwork.com/redirects/promotion/tailgater/default.aspxI thought this was a must have for camping in the trees, $350.00, auto finder, HD antenna, I believe it is DISH only Quote Link to post Share on other sites
