Easy set up doesn't loose signal even in monsoon storms. Live in SE Arizona work in SW New Mexico and don't have to change state setting which is good. comes right on when tv is turned on only has to reboot if power go's off or dish is unhooked. Also there is no front or back to this playmaker unit according to manufacturer dish inside the cover is able to rotate 360 degrees if anything I always face the handle north. Can't believe I didn't purchase this sooner.

Just the savings in set up time is worth the upgrade. I found the Playmaker easy to install and setup. Decided to mount mine on my Fifth wheel. Now I just park and start watching. Highly recommend.

The Dish Playmaker, and Wally Bundle are the perfect combo. For what we wanted in our RV. Easy to set up, easy to use. Along with an App. Called Sat finder, found on the Play Store, its easy to point your dish in the right direction for the best signal. We really love ours and would recommend this product to any one wanting to tailgate or have Dish in there RV.

I’ve never had anything so easy to install. It took all of 20 minutes and I was watching tv. Thanks dishformyrv

We used this set up for the first time last weeeknd in our Ice Castle and it was great! Everything went smooth in the hook up and set up! Was great being able to watch tv out in the middle of a frozen lake. So far so good!

Good product but they do leave out some info needed to get it working correctly. Like the handle on the playmaker needs to face North so the dish faces south. Cable connections can be touchy too.

Too easy to set up and run. Longest step is calling for receiver first time activation. That was seamless as well, just took longer waiting for it to sincrinize. Got the use as you go option, easy!

The playmaker is light weight and easy to set up. Couldn't be happier with this system for my RV!

I took this along on a cross country trip in an RV. My RV is wired for an external dish so all I had to do at each location was connect the single 75ohm cable to the Playmaker. i used the dish for my RV app on iphone to know which side of the rv to put the playmaker. My dish receiver is a VIP211k which also has an Off the Air tuner. Perhaps other receivers are faster at populating the menu, but by the time everything else was set up the TV was working.
The picture is superb, same as home, and is a far cry from the fuzzy cable at nearly all RV parks.

The system cost about a quarter of the DirecTv price. I have DirecTv at home but would pay almost $2,000.00 to get HD TV. The delivery was early. The setup and activation were easy. Be sure to get unobstructed views to the south. Telephone assistance was terrific. Use of the system on my first trip with the boys went off without a hitch. Be sure to hookup antenna directly to receiver.

So far, so good. Even had to get the antenna replaced, but working fine now.

Bottom Line - Great product that I would very much recommend. Words of wisdom . . . If possible, do not wait until GameDay to set up and activate the receiver and antenna. I was on the phone for about an hour being transferred to various people/numbers to get the system setup and activated. And, although you may see antennas on the ground and lifted only slightly above ground, have a plan in place for the antenna to be table high (or higher). This was an issue for us and it caused a delay in setup. That being said . . . after setup, the addition of satellite to our tailgate is fantastic!

I was looking for something that I could watch dish network anywhere and at a reasonable price. When I called Dish Network and I could get these items together and save money it was what I was looking for. The items came and were easy to setup. Called Dish got the Wally activated and everything is working perfectly. I am very satisfied with the products and the assistance that Dish representatives helped me with. They told me of an app that I could get a signal sent if system is off for a while. Very satisfied with all the products.

We love our Wally!

Works great after initial setup. Thought I had a bad cable or Wally till I went to diagnostics and saw I was getting a good signal. After a call to dish advanvced diagnostics the Wally needed a software update. After that worked like a charm. Also got the dvr. One downside is you cannot watch tv and record at the same time. Its one or the other. It would be nice if they could upgrade. Otherwise works great with my camper
