Just tell him "Good by don't call back"

BY the way: I recommend DirecTV standard (NOT HD) for RV's. no matter what kind of antenna you have (Dish, Dome, Roof or ground mount) it will work with DirecTV Standard service, With other services you will be limited, The proper dish, (roof or ground mount) will work provided there are not trees or buildings in the way but domes.. All work with direcTV, Some work wish DISH-SD, and a few work with DISH-HD but with DISH, if you use a DVR to record, The domes can see only 1 or the 2(SD) or 3(HD) satellites at a time. So you will run into conflicts.. DirecTV SD only uses one bird.

Cost is about the same, by the time Dish gets done nickle and dimeing you.

Plus with HDTV, DIsh has an "Eastern" and "Western" arc, so you either won't do well in Maine or California (And surrounding states) (SD that's not so) With, Direc, the bird is more centerally located (101 degrees west) so that's not a problem
