Things have changed a little with dish. If you own a RV you need to go to their site and click on RV?? There is a form you have to fill out showing the RV is for personal use. Once they have that you can call in and change your "physical" address to where ever you are and you can get the local stations. A pain in the butt as sometimes it takes a long time to get them down loaded, We usually call several hours ahead of where we are going so that the receiver will be ready when we get there. Even then it may take some time for the automatic satalite locater to find all needed to get the local stations. Good luck

[QUOTE=openminds;1067076]Be careful. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the newer sat boxes do not like the voltage from the amplified OTA antenna. I could be wrong, maybe wrong but worth a check.[/QU
You will not have DC voltage on the 75ohm cable from the OTA antenna unless it is broken.

I checked. You're wrong.
