So, if I only really travel from Canada into the USA but I only do it once in a while. What do I do for Satellite. Apparently I can't buy anything here because the King dome has horizon issues once we are in the USA. I can't buy anything in the USA because I do not have a US billing address. And I don't need it all the time just for about a month a year. Maybe I should stick with DVDs??

The King Dome should not have any issues in the USA unless the sat you are subscribed to doesn't have a footprint in the US.

Star Choice and Bell can be received in the USA. Star Choice has the best reception area and customer service.

The Kingdome should work OK in most of the US, because the angle of the sat is higher than when you are in Canada.

Digital TV woks well in the USA. Give it a try if your satellite does not work. You need to have a digital TV or a converter box purchased at various outlets including camping world.
