[aprssig] RV APRS and Dish TV

[Bob Bruninga]

Curious,

Does normal DISH TV work portable on an RV?  I see RV's with the dishes, but the fine print in the adds imply that you must have a phone line or internet connection too.

Or are RV accounts something special?  Or can you just unmount your dish from the side of the house, and take it with you portable (while doing APRS portable of course).

I assume that basic channels are always available? but that all on-demand and specialty features are not available without the talk-back link...

Our TV is on rabbit ears (just like APRS on RF only), so need tips from APRS/TV RV'ers.
