I have the in motion satellite dish in my 05 Essex - that is what the coach came with (I believe it is a KVH). The previous owner had a Direct TV service that worked well. My question is would I be able to use Dish without making any substantive modification to the coach's existing equipment? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

srh, take a look at this thread and some of the links within it may find a answer there.

I have the same setup on mine. It previously used DirectTV also. It needs to be reprogrammed and updated for Dish. I was lucky enough to find a mobile RV repair that did satellites also. Took about an hour. Your local dealer that sells KVH should be able to do the update.

Mike: I appreciate the feedback!
