Gurus,
I upgraded to the Directv sat right after I got the coach 10 years ago. The antenna is a Winegard SK-3005. It has been mostly trouble free....until a couple of years ago.
First Directv changed their system and I had to upgrade by adding a SWM8 box to the roof. That put me back in business...but it has about a dozen additional cable connections.
Now...I am broken again. Directv is absolutely no help. (They want to know my address so they can send a gorilla out to “adjust my antenna”.
I will call Winegard tomorrow...but expect that I will get a script reader.
I have not been on roof to check the cables...but will also do tomorrow.
So here is my question....
Is it time to dump the satellite? Has anyone figured out a cool way to stream video using cellular service? Of course the WiFi that you get in campgrounds is universally terrible...so cellular is only option...right?
Ps. I suspect that I have a bad LNB but am on the road and have no way to receive one.
So...what are you guys using these days?
Cheers,
Bill
