Dish network in Jayco 26BH

I've only lasted 2 weeks trying to watch local off the air tv and made the choice to put Dish network here into my new tt. I have dish at home and also previously in our fiver. Jayco does not make it easy to understand or even get to the existing tv wiring but I managed to figure it out this a.m. and now have a wonderful Dish network signal in my tt. the dish receiver also integrates the local off the air channels into the program guide and allows me to see them without paying dish the extra charge. since I am an existing dish customer this only costs me $7 a month after buying the necessary receiver and antenna. We have to have our toys and this will work anywhere in the south east U.S. and probably other places too. I am a happy camper and can go into the install detail for anyone who wants to listen.

We are currently Direct TV customers at home for over 2 years. Our contract is up and we are also considering options.

We have considered DISH but feel no pressure to change yet as many places we camp have cable.

My brain has become like a sieve from all the changes going on in our life right now so I am avoiding taking on anymore for a while.

Tom, mine was more a comment than a question. I'm happy you figured it out.

My comment was just that the solution you came to is one that many of us ponder as campers and the solutions are many depending on personal needs and preferences.

We have many here who use others experiences, both success and failures, to help them solve their own problems and challenges. That one of the great thing about these type forums.

I'll be following your experiences with the new rig.

THMakin, I assume you purchased the optional Over-the-Air Tuner from Dish? I have one but have not installed it yet. Also purchased a RF Modulator for my third TV but have not installed it either. Dish is seriously lacking on instructions for these options.

I am also a Dish customer. I have the Wally receiver for $50 month it has all the channels I like! No contract, and you get local channels wherever you go. I love it!!

Are you using the Furrion TV with your Dish receiver? I am also a Dish Network customer who has Dish at my CA and FL homes. I just purchased a 2016 Jayco Grayhawk RV with Furrion TV (hate it so far). Tell me more about the Dish receiver you mentioned. Thanks.

There are several options with DISH and a number of threads on this topic including a rather in-depth wiring diagram (see Manuals at the top of the page, and then the Misc section) for the Greyhawk.



For those of us who have DISH at home, there is the option of a Tailgator type system, a receiver for the TV in the rig and $7 a month additional fee.

Not sure what more you want to know about the receiver? Check out RV to go on dish website, since you have dish at your homes you will only pay $7 a month more to have it in your RV!
