Satelite TV service receiver

[CoachC]

Purchased a 2005 Newmar KSDP this summer. It came equipped with a KVH TrackVision automatic dome antenna but original owner apparently kept their receiver. The antenna was a factory option.
I've been reading some of the related threads but not coming to any conclusions.
I expect to use Dish mostly because of their pay as you go. Can anyone recommend a descent receiver for Dish. Does the antenna require a separate control box or system? Coach has 2 LED flat screen TVs.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Before you decide to go with Dish you need to find out if your KVH will receive Dish signals anymore since Dish changed their satellites.

My KVH satellite dish will only work on one Dish Satellite now since Dish made their changes. The technician that worked on it said that if I would switch to Direct TV it would work on all of their satellites.

I decided to use a Tailgater portable satellite dish and the Dish receiver that comes with it. PPL has a sale on them now until the 1st of Jan.

I believe I saw on another thread that the KVH need an update.

The service tech made the update on our KVH and now it will only lock on the one satellite (119) for Dish.
