If you own or operate an RV park, you’re probably aware that satellite TV can be difficult. Attaching a satellite dish to an RV isn’t possible, since they shake and move too much. Dishes can be anchored in concrete or to other sorts of mounts, but they can be unsightly and sometimes it’s hard to get the dishes placed where they can see the sky. But, of course, everyone wants satellite TV. This includes folks in RV parks, too. What’s the answer?
One satellite to serve them all
The answer is to use one satellite dish to supply service to every single RV. A lot of folks think this is illegal, but it absolutely isn’t. It’s illegal to use one regular satellite account to supply service to everyone. That’s not the only option. There are much better ones out there.
The simplest way of going about this is to use the one dish to give residents the option to get their own satellite service. This is done in apartment buildings all the time. The only difference is that with RV parks, it’s done by burying the cables between the RVs. This takes a bit more expense but it’s manageable. There are programs where you as the RV park owner can help people get into satellite TV quickly and easily.
If you want to offer a little better option, you can set up a headend system. A headend system uses one set of satellite receivers located somewhere on the property. From there, each RV can get a selected number of channels delivered to them. Think of it as your own personal cable company, without the hassle. RV park residents like this option because you can generally offer it at no extra cost to them. This makes your RV park more valuable than your competitors.

Sometimes, residents will complain about the visible wires in an RV park. It’s true, they can be unsightly. Signal Connect has great solutions that will make everyone happier to live together in close quarters. Innovative DIRECTV technology lets you supply each RV with a single receiver, a DVR, or whatever they need and the system can scale to go as large as you need it to be. Of course there are a few things you’ll need, such as a reliable power source, a location for the dish, and the ability to safely and securely wire those RVs.
