Satelite Dish
I have in motion Winguard satelite dish used with Direct Tv. Will a Dish reciever work without any Mods?

Probably??? Some satellite antennas work with either Direct or Dish. If yours is one that will, there are dip switches that need to be set for one or the other(see your instructions). Then you have to setup an acct, etc, with the service provider.

I believe they all ( or most of them) work with both DTV and Dish… just have to set it up differently !!

We originally had direct tv connected to our Winegard in motion satellite antenna and switched to Dish. There are dip switches that must be changed on the antenna and with our model, the only dish receiver that will work is the VIP 211, they refer to this as a mobile receiver (I think newer Winegards also use a VIP 411). We get all the channels on the road we get at home. Dish will also let you call in and they will change the programming so the local channels come in wherever you are. With in motion systems, dish allows HD programming to work while Direct TV does not.
