It's all installed and it works! Sure is cool. My Raysat Speedray 1000 is mounted to my homemade roof rack. The indoor portion of the antenna system and the dish network receiver are mounted above my rear air conditioner and it's all wired to 2 locations for TV sets (in the bedroom and over the dinette on the wall). I haven't tried it in motion but sitting it is getting everything that we get in the house. Sometimes switching channels causes a brief error message as it switches to the other satellite. It adds just 6" to the height of the bus.

Hi Jerry
Does the RaySAt work for Direct Tv HD.
Gary
David,
Send me an email & I'll send you some pictures (I can't figure out how to resize them). Your profile has your email address hidden, in case you didn't know.
Gary,
I think the answer is yes but you'd need an HD receiver and if it draws more than 60 watts you couldn't power the receiver from the inverter built into the indoor unit. They make 2 versions, one that supports both Dish and Direct and another that just supports Dish. I opted for the one that supports both but am using Dish.

Good News Jerry,
Glad to hear everything went OK and I am sure you and your wife will enjoy it.

Jerry, has Raysat come out with their flat internet dish yet? I inquired about a year ago and they indicated it would be another year.

Gary,
The flat internetdish, as far as I can tell is not yet for sale. It's called the Speedray 3000, looks like mine but is only prototype that they have demonstrated.

Don't hold your breath for the Speedray Internet dish. 2 years ago, we signed up with them to sell their TV and Internet dishes. after thinking we were on the edge, we ran ads and signed up at shows.
at the last minute, they said no Internet dishes were available and working, still in testing. maybe for spring shows they'd have them. that was dec '05.
I suspect they are having trouble getting that tiny dish to lock onto the signal that even big dishes have trouble with.
if you want something small, we do have a briefcase sized Internet Antenna that is online and ready with no setup in 5 minutes. But it's about $6 per megabyte to use. gotta be a real important email or video to justify. mostly used by news media and government.
fyi
