2014 entegra coach Direct TV questions

Waiting on 2014 entegra anthem. I have at home a model number DIRECT TV HR34-700 dvr receiver with 3 clients. Will I also need to bring another client with the, Winegard in-motion dome satellite dish which is standard on 2014 models. Since there is 4 tvs total in the coach or will the hr 3400-700 run them all im not sure I thought 2 were run together bedroom and outside tv. and living area and front tv. That's why I was wodering if I need to bring at least 1 client also will I even need to call directtv or plug n play I have 2 other client boxes at home should I bring those.
etc, etc, as we are putting together our move in list

I don't think that will work in the RV with that dish and the clients. That needs a single wire LNB with a special multi switch. I had to get some regular DirecTV boxes to use in my RV

Yes I don't think that particular receiver unit will work properly with that in motion satellite dish.

The HR34 should work but I'm not sure why you would need all the clients. It's currently wired that one satellite receiver will connect up to all of the TV's. Adding a client to the bedroom should be fairly easy but I think TV's 3 and 4 might be a little more difficult to wire.
The question is, do you need the 4 TV's to run different programming simultaneously? Keep in mind that your satellite will not pick up any local programming(when you travel) or HD, so your viewing choices are limited.
BTW, do not call DIRECTV on anything related to the motorhome, if you have to, pretend you are at home. Depending on who you get on the phone, they may be very helpful or they may say you owe us more money!

Correct that's the question are they wired ready for all 4 to work with 1 receiver, don't need 4 channels at once, and why pay 2 times il just bring my main box just got that genie box whatever they call it. and was wondering if it would work if not I need to find one that does THX for any info.on the wiring.

I thought the 2014 are coming with the Travler,,,,which is better and can utilize the clients. The inmotion cant I don't believe.

You will have to change the Dome dish to a SWM dish to use the HR34.
And you will not get any HD with the Dome. Don't forget to turn off the hide SD channels if you have that set in the menu at home.

You should have made a deal to have the Winegard SK-SWM3 Trav'ler installed in place of the Dome. HD is worth it.

I converted my Trav'ler SK-3005 to a SWM. And have a HR34 with a AM21, HR23, H25 and a H21 in my MH for 4 HD TV's and one analog.

The Travel'r is an option in 2014 Anthem. It still comes standard with the inmotion. I think the 2014 might come with the wiring already there. I ordered the Travel'r on mine.

SWM receivers will work with the inmotion dish. I have used the HR24 and HR25, I would think that the HR34 would work as well. It's just that only one tuner will be active and as said before, it will be SD.

SWM only receivers (like the HR34 Genie) will not work with a standard in-motion dome. They don't have SWM outputs. To use an SWM only receiver, you need to install an SWM8 switch between the dish and the receiver(s). There's a PDF on Winegard's website that has the wiring diagrams.

Good to know, another reason not to have in-motion.
