Satellite dish that will be compatible with a HD24-100

Current dish is mounted to an RV, it has been destroyed. Do not need to be able to receive in motion, only using on TV.

Hi @lmadgwick

RVs require a special satellite dish to get DIRECTV service. DIRECTV does not install RV satellite dishes and it's necessary to reach Winegard or a local RV dealer.

Take a look at this article to learn about how to get and install the best programming on your RV.

Also, thanks to @Juniper  and @litzdog911 fro sharing your knowledge.

If you want HiDef channels then the only RV-mounted DirecTV dish is the Winegard Trav'ler. Not cheap.

But I'm afraid you do. DirecTV is shutting down its SD satellite channels.

You should consider a slimline dish on a tripod.

Double check model number as that would be either H24 or HR24.

In either case, you have a couple options. Either a slimline SWM dish on a tripod or sled mount that you manually aim, or for auto-acquiring the Winegard Trav'ler.

DirecTV has been shutting down their MPEG-2/SD-only feeds. So HD equipment is required going forward. Remember, SD-only TVs haven't been made in over a decade. Likely your old dish was MPEG-2, as many RV users didn't worry about making the update back when it was optional. So now is the time to get the correct setup going forward.

As long as all your boxes are H or HR models (or the special R22), that part is fine.
