RV Dish Network

If you own an RV (recreational vehicle) and want to have satellite TV access while you're on the road, now you can.  To set up your RV Dish Network, there are a few
things you should know. Generally if you own an RV, you can receive what is called Broadcast Network Programming which has your local stations such as: CBS, NBC,
FOX, ABC, and PBS.

For you to be able to receive any packages from Dish Network, you must, by law, meet certain criteria.  You have to acknowledge that you are the legal owner of the RV that
you are driving and requesting service for, that your satellite dish antenna is securely attached to the roof of your vehicle, that your satellite dish antenna is not to be used at
any permanent fixed location (such as a mobile home), and you must also have a copy of your current vehicle registration.  Once you meet the requirements, you will be eligible to receive up to two (2) packages from Dish Network for your RV.  

Dish Network for your RV costs approximately $24.99 per month for about 50 channels.  This is if you will be mainly stationary while watching the TV.  If you sign a one-year
contract for services, your Dish dealer will give you a tripod-mount antenna (minus the tripod) which is useful if you will be parking under or near trees, and your receiver.  If
you prefer "in-motion" satellite television, the cost will be much greater.  To those who travel often or who like to be able to watch satellite TV while they are driving, the extra
cost is a small price to pay.  

The only real downside to having RV satellites is that since Dish now offers local channels basically all over the place, they've had to resort to using something called spot
beams.  Spot beams are signals from a satellite that is aiming at a specific area on Earth and measures approximately 250 miles in diameter.  Once you are out of a spot beam, the stations you were receiving will no longer be available.
