New Sat Dish

Knowing that there is so little to do in Key West we decided to upgrade our manual Dish Network antenna to an automated dish.

The older antenna would only tune to one satellite at a time and had to be re-aimed for different channels. A pain to do. The new antenna will allow us to automatically tune to all available Dish Network satellites using three LNBs. The dish itself is much larger. It is a full sized dish just like a home system would use, so we will have much better signal strength as well. We will be able to have HD viewing on the main TV in the living room. The TV in the bedroom will be limited to SD because the wiring to that set does not allow HD bandwidth.

I will be doing the pre-departure mechanical checkouts today and we will provision the coach Sunday for a Monday departure. First stop will be Key Largo and Pennekamp State Park.
