I have navigated my account on their websit, and when I select add kits it shows an internet connection kit. I cannot find the DRK or a my setup tab. Help.

Scrib,

I have Dish network and while the majority of channels are on the 119 sattelite, most pay per view sports etc are on the 110 sattelite. Since I only have a single LNB dish I have to change it sometimes.

My husband & I just bought 1st RV. We have Dish at home, do we just buy a dish and tripod and take a receiver from home? We need some guidance.

Just been reading the post by Scribner on Satellite TV on the Cheap Guess that DTV has discontinued the DRK as I loged on clicked on My Setup & clicked on Add Kits and Equipment & couldn’t find the DRK listed too bad as I need a new satellite set up for my 5th Wheel

Thanks Roy, I considered that too, still have some of the 250′ spool I bought that I could route a million different ways I’m sure, only problem is I don’t wanna watch SpongeBob reruns at “rest time”

Nate – I just use 1 receiver. I have an S-Video cable going to the main TV and 50-feet of miniature RF cable going to the TV in the bedroom (I just stapled it along the edge of the ceiling – got it at Home Depot). Both TV’s see the same channel, but that is fine for our use.

Regarding local channels – we received all of our local programming on a recent trip to Oregon, 650 miles away.

So what do you do if you have another TV connection inside the camper (i.e. a bunk room)? We typically bring two DIRECTV receivers but haven’t been able to get them to work (due to this issue).

Jack~ I just ordered my Disaster Recovery Kit 2 weeks ago, I found it by going to direct’s website, Find the My Setup tab at the top then click on Add Kits and Equipment. You will then have to sign into your account and after a screen will pop up and the DRK is on this page.

I called DirectTV and spent 20 minutes asking about how to order the Disaster Readiness Kit. No one there could find any information at all on it. How can I order one?
