5LNB for a motorhome?

[D*HR-20]

I just had a friend call about putting an HDTV in a motorhome and told him the 5 LNB dish isn't available for motorhomes yet, which I believe I read on here. Was I correct and if I was any word on when 5LNB dish for a motorhome will come out?

You could always use a portable stand for a 5 LNB. Problem is that alignment is tricky with this dish.

It is pretty big for a rood mount, but I am sure someone will come out with one soon. I'm sure it won't be cheap and a auto align dish WILL be expensive. Like packfan said, they are tough to align. Lately it is getting harder for the auto dish to even lock on to the right sat, let alone more than one lnb.

Raysat showed a slimline model called the T5 at CES.
It's set to be released in the next 6 weeks and will be capable of receiving both the Ka and KU band DSS Sats.

It's not a 5lnb unit, it uses a phased antenna array to "look" for the correct sat, but it is able to see all of the birds.

I'm waiting on the first shipment for my own RV, I'll repost when it arrives and I have a chance to use it.

Thanks for the info, looking forward to your evaluation.
