Q: QuestionCan this be put in Motorhomes to watch while traveling

Asked 4 years ago by Cdpat.

• A:Answer Everytime you move you will have to point the dish and you better have a cellphone and a signal finder to point this dish. NOTE: I would not travel with this on the vehicle as the dish is almost 30” wide.

Asked 4 years ago by sunshine.

• A:Answer I returned this item because there were no installers in my area, which no one told me. AN i still have not received my credit. Where is it? Not a good idea to ask a question of someone who you as a company gave super poor customer service to. You even sent the items first to someone else. WOW, so I want to help. Um, NO!

Q: QuestionIf you have four TV's and all hooked up can you record on one TV and watch on the others if you want? Or, can you only watch on DVR you recorded it on? Also, it states you can freeze picture, but, can you go back if you missed something?

Asked 4 years ago by Zebed.

• A:Answer I believe you can only watch on the tv it is hooked up to. TVs are not hooked to same cable. They all have their own tuners. Unless you move DVR to other tv.

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer In most cases the installer is able to use your existing pole. That is what I did. The only thing is that the Orby satellite is in a different position and might have obstacles blocking a clear path for it.
