Setting up Dish Network for mobile R.V. use
the satellites used will be the 110 the 119 and the 129
the 110 and the 119 have the standard programming for both locals and the national programming, the dish used is a dish 500 with a dpp lnb. (dish pro plus DPP or dp lnb , the lnb is the eyeballs on the end of the dish.) if you are using a 311 or 301 or 211 HD receiver you have a single room box and the dp lnb will run that box. if you have a duel tuner two room or two tuner receiver such as a 322 or 625 or 612 HD , or a 722HD you will need a dpp lnb. To obtain High Definition programming you will need to get the 129 satellite with a 1000.2 or 1000.4 dish.
My experience is in the oregon washington area near portland oregon and i have been 3 or 4 hours in all directions and these coordinates are close for everywhere i have been. but you can with your remote PRESS menu 6-1-1 to get to the point dish screen and type in your zip code put the dish selection on the dish 300 and arrow up and down from 110-119-129 satellite and the corresponding azimuth elevation and skew will appear for that zip code.
azimuth is the direction the dish points on the horizon commonly found by using a compass or inclimoter
elevation is how far up from that point the satellite is in the sky
skew is the tilt of the dish. if you are hitting only one satellite the skew is 90 degrees but if you are hitting two or more satellites the skew will be different to align all of the satellites.
some of the tools to help find this information is the compass and i have found a ipad, itouch, iphone app to be useful it is called DP-AR-PRO i believe it was 29.99
the dish 500 in the pacific northwest is set up at 38 degree elevation, skew 83 and azimuth is 148
the dish 100.2 is 38 elevation, skew 83 and points closer to 155az
the dish 1000.4 is 38 elevation , skew 87 and points close to 155az

Required Paperwork
A Proof of Ownership form must be filled out and sent to DISH Network, with a current copy of the vehicle’s registration,
within 7 days or receivers will be disconnected. This form can be found on DISH Portal. The customer may either fax or mail
the document to the number or address listed on the Proof of Ownership form.
Please be aware that a maximum of one of each vehicle (RV, boat, or commercial truck), with proof of ownership, will be
allowed on a DISH Network account.
Customers may have one RV, one commercial truck, and one boat with service on their home account.
Two or more RVs, commercial trucks, and/or boats will not be allowed on any DISH Network account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a customer receive Distant Locals in their RV, boat, or commercial truck?
A: Customers may be able to receive distant network channels from Sobongo (formerly All American Direct) using their
existing DISH network satellite equipment! Because customers are billed by Sobongo for distant local channels,
separate from their DISH Network bill, they will need to call Sobongo at 1-800-909-9677 or visit their website
www.mydistantnetworks.com to see if they qualify.
Q: What if a customer has two RVs and wishes to have equipment in both?
A: A customer will need to create another account for the second RV.
Version 0.2 Page 4 of 4 12/9/2010
Q: Can my customer who lives in a motor home use a P.O. Box as their primary address?
A: Customers can use a P.O. Box as a Bill To reference only. The customer will still need some type of physical address for
verification and qualification of local networks (i.e. camp ground or RV Park).
Q: My customer only needs to take one of their receivers with them to their temporary location. What should they
do with the rest?
A: The customer should take only the receivers that are needed at the seasonal location and leave all others at their main
location. They will need to keep all leased receivers active on the account for the duration of their travel, so as to prevent
the process of having the receiver(s) returned to DISH Network or the Retailer of Record, and to prevent charge backs
from being made on the account.
Q: When my customer returns from their temporary location and needs their receiver hooked back up what is the
charge?
A: If your customer needs assistance you will determine the fee based on your current business pricing. A second
DishMOVER should not be performed and will not be paid if the customer is moving back to the original location.
Q: Can a customer keep their local channels if they move between two separate DMA’s?
A: The account will be re-qualified for local channels using the new address information at the time the customer updates
their address with DISH Network customer service. This would likely change the local channels that the customer will be
receiving.

Seasonal Customers
Seasonal or “snowbird” customers only require one account to be active since they are only at one location at a time and
usually for an extended period of time. These customers typically move from one location to another, seasonally, with the
desire to have all of the perks of their DISH Network service at each residence.
How do I Help My Customer?
Please follow these simple steps to ensure your customer does not have a break in service and can transition as smoothly as
possible to and from their seasonal residence.
1. Your customer will contact a local Retailer, near the location of their alternate residence, to participate in the
DishMOVER offer and will take all receivers with them when they travel. Following this process for the first move will
get the correct antenna configuration installed at the alternate location. After installation, and while at the customer’s
home, the Retailer performing the DishMOVER will need to contact 1-866-688-DASH to update the address
information on the account. The customer must be available for address verification if necessary.
2. Your customer gets to enjoy their DISH Network programming while at their new location!
3. At the end of the season, your customer brings all receivers back to the primary location.
4. Assist your customer with reconnecting the receivers if they need additional help.
5. The customer will then need to contact DISH Network customer service and update the account address to reflect
the original location.
Cost to the Customer
Seasonal customers may be eligible to receive a free DishMOVER. Customers will only need to participate in the
DishMOVER promotion one time since the antennas will still be set up at the site they will be returning to.
AutoPay is a great option for these customers so they do not need to worry about receiving their billing statement at the new
location since payments will be automatically made to the account!
Note: The customer must be qualified through R*Connect within 24 hours of receiving their approval. An
agreement and account can be generated during this time, as usual, without any additional errors.
If account creation is not completed within 24 hours of receiving approval, the customer will have to repeat the
process by calling the Fact Act team again. The SSN Overuse flag override is only good for 24 hours.
