Winegard T4 Roadtrip set up for DirecTV - switch to Dish?

[KeysVal]

I have a Winegard T4 Roadtrip set up in my motorhome with DirecTV.

I am considering switching to Dish Network and have a few questions;

Does Dish Network offer “pay as you go” service for RV people who travel a few months each year?

If I switch to Dish, will I receive High Definition?

Will my Roadtrip dish work with Dish Network?

Thanks for any insights!

I do know that you can call Winegard and they will tell you what you need to do with the equipment. I have their older Trav'ler system and for me, I have to replace the dish and the controller to get Dish Satellite. I have DTV right now. Cost around $1200 for the equipment only, not the labor to install, if I remember correctly? But the conversion sounded easy enough for a DIY'er.

The other thing that I've been reading about is YES, Dish allows you to suspend your service for months when you're not on the road. But I was reading that 6 months ago and you know how fast things change these days...maybe call Dish?

If I switch to Dish, will I receive High Definition? Yes, dome antenna's such as your T4 can receive DISH in HD

Will my Roadtrip dish work with Dish Network? Yes, you will need to change the dip switch configuration in the dome, see your manual. http://help.leisurevans.com/en/artic...4-dip-switches
