What is involved to hook up a home Direct TV satellite system on an RV?
Our black box is a Hughes Network " Silver Edition" and the tv is a standard one. Will coaxial cable satisfactory work to carry Satellite communication to the tv? Is there a special dish that must be compatible with the Direct TV system? We have seen the dish mounted to a tripod. How difficult is it to tune the dish to the required satellite direction?
Some things to answer:
1. Where is southwest? Get a compass.
2. How will you mount the dish? Tripod? Mount on the RV? It needs to be secure, but should disassemble quickly.
3. Make the cable run between your dish and TV is the only challenge, since you can’t always guarantee where south will be when you park your RV.
Once you’ve done it once or twice, it should go up quickly when you reach your site.
