hermanmullins Report post Posted February 10, 2018 weeksea, Welcome to the Forum. I think Winegard's Dish Satellite is also compatible with Bell and Shaw. That would be the Winegard Dish 1000 Trav'ler The Winegard Trav'ler for Direct is only compatible with Direct. To the best of my knowledge. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivykrewe Report post Posted February 11, 2018 I saw Dish in Alaska but not Direct tv. WE have direct and had problem with mountains and trees. Some in our group had dish and worked better. Sat receivers in Alaska looked like they were pointed at the ground. Did not have much time for tv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bthomforde Report post Posted February 18, 2018 We went to Alaska last summer, we have a Travl'r and Dish. We got one satellite, 119, everyplace we were unless trees or mountains were in the way. People in our group with with Directv lost all signal in lower Canada. I switched our locals to Anchorage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
