Q: QuestionWhat’s come with the service

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer The service is pretty basic. If you want something elaborate, then ORBY may not be for you. The service comes with a satellite dish/antenna. The dish serves as an antenna so if the satellite goes out or you decide that you don't want the satellite service anymore, you will still be able to get over-the-air channels. This dish services up to 4 TVs. They offer most extended basic cable stations, no sports channels, and you can add movie channel packages.

Q: QuestionUnderstand install fee for dish, do not understand $50 fee for additional receivers when cable is already ran by previous satellite company. Can you explain please?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer My understanding is that would be to run cable to a room without cable. If cable is already installed should be easy enough to hook cable to the TV if signal is split after leaving the dish inside the residence.

Q: QuestionCan you use this in an RV

Asked 5 years ago by Debbie.

• A:Answer It can be used in a RV but not while moving. It is a satellite dish that must be mounted and the dish will have to be pointed when you get to your destination. It is easy to point but you will need a tripod or some other temporary mount for the dish.
