  1. Satellite receivers get hot just sitting out on a bookcase. We have had ours in several different MH's and they get even hotter in a semi-enclosed area. If you look at the power consumption, it is about like a 30 watt bulb. Our current installation in a National RV Tradewinds in the front overhead is the coolest. I cut a 8x10 hole in the door in front of it and put a black painted 1/4" mesh screen there. The remote works thru the screen and it keeps things cool, even in 110 degree Arizona weather. Works much better than using a RF remote and the closed door we had previously. Traveling is no problem since we are not plugged in on the road and the receiver is off. Gerry
