Best way to acquire a Direct TV dish for a camp?

I thought that the whole idea of having a camp was to get away from all of that.

Please tell me what exactly I need to do.

Call Direct TV. Tell them.

The end.

I ordered my Direct Tv dish on EBay and installed it my self at my camp. I just took a receiver from my house that we didn’t use that much and it just stays at the camp. I pay no extra charges this way.

plug it into a 2nd direct tv dish and watch tv.

This is true but you have to adjust the angles of the dish based on your location as well as get the box to sync. The problem is that if you call direct tv to try to get the correct angles and sync the box, they know you're bootlegging and will shut it down.

I did it for a while using an old dish on my roof from the previous owner and an extra box from my parents. It lasted about a year until the box unsynced.

Not to hijack....but, i have one box that has the “thing” that plugs into the 110v wall socket and basically my other 4 boxes have to have that working to get dish....so would have to order another one of those to access my account at the Camp, correct?

Just get internet at your camp, plug a roku in, and log into your dish account

There are tons of vendors that sell just the dish and the LNB (Low Noise Buffer) (aka feedhorn). A mount is as easy as a piece of pipe cemented in a 5 gallon bucket. Look up Azimuth/Elevation/Skew and point accordingly.

Or go somewhere like Solid Signal and get a meter and use it to point. I got the ole man one for his travel trailer when him and mom traveled.

IIRC if you're too far from home and your home account has local channels on it...you might not be in the spotbeam for the locals so you may not get those at the camp. Something to consider.

I have one you can have Baw
