Which Winegard to replace king dome?

[rangerbob]

We have a King Dome roof mounted. We are wanting to replace it with a Winegard. Which one would anyone recommend? We are using DISH on the road service with the 211k receiver.

If you do not need/want in-motion capability you will have the very best experience with the Winegard Trav'ler. This is the only antenna that will work just like a home antenna and "see" all 3 Dish Net satellites at the same time (110, 119, 129). If you absolutely must be able to watch TV while driving then I would suggest the Mission antenna. It will switch between the 3 satellites but can only "see" one satellite at a time. If you plan to use a DVR, another dual tuner or more than one receiver I would not suggest any kind of a domed antenna from any manufacturer.

We don't need the in motion. I had done the research and also thought the travler was the way to go, however the closest place to us does not install that one. They only do the mini. I will google and see what might be on our way in some of our travels. We are not planning on using a DVR. Thanks for your input.

Don't take a lesser antenna just because the local guy ain't so bright.
Where will your travels be taking you. I know a number of other dealers and I may be able to point you in the right direction. Heck, maybe our paths will cross and I can install it myself!

Right now, the King dome is working fine. This is our first experience with satellite. We know it is outdated and can only see one satellite at a time. So, when we decide to upgrade that is the one we will probably go with.


Thanks for your info.
