Installation of satellite receiver.

jdargis

In the past we had a Dish Tailgater satellite system in our motorhome.  Has anyone installed or made an overnight home for the receiver in their T@B.  The motorhome was wired for cable tv and satellite tv.  I plan to run a designated cable and hook up for the satellite dish.  Room is limited in our T@B's, so looking for different ideas.  I could set it on the front counter on top of our microwave, or possibly attach a shelf below the front cabinets and install it there. Any ideas?

Jeff, I wonder if you couldn't create some kind of shelf for it that connects the shelf above the valence?

Just looked up the size of the new receiver, 2" high-13" wide- 9" deep, which is a lot smaller than the old unit.

Installed mine under seat, Velcro to fender well... Aim remote thru vent ...works for me. Out of sight. Space is priceless in a t@b...

Wow, cool. Would love to see a picture. I wonder if the remote is using something besides IR?

Well it works fine so far... Just aim at top vent...
attached pic of box in cabinet...works even with all this electronic junk in front of it... Lol.

Deltaboy - You travel with a lot of gear :-)
I lightened my load - Have an IK Mmultimedia iRig between my bass and iPad (or iPhone or Mac) and play through GarageBand. Also have AudioBus so I can string together different effect pedals or other Amps. makes for a nice, little compact setup.

Having the strat in the T@B is no problem. Fitting the Marshall stack in is a problem

I'm old skool and analog jus does something for me that digital can't  do...yet...!!

Rest of my post got deleted... Jus kidding... My friends rave about GarageBand... I'm pretty old skool... Analog is my thang. Lots of gear but never enough guitars...

Nomad

Nothin wrong with analog, just takes up a lot of room.

Normfun

All tube all the time.  50watt JCM900.  Analog.  Yup I'm old skool too

The nice thing about digital - besides being very compact and mobile - is you have access to hundreds of different amps and effect pedals without needing a semi :-)
And you have a recording studio in your pocket.

So, being analog guys, I suppose you haul around all your old vinyl too. Where do you put all that stuff :-)

For me personally the sound difference is like comparing CD's to Vinyl records....
We know which one sounds best...right ?
There is something warm &earthy about analog that I cannot find in digital epuipment.
I play through a rock bug speaker emulator...analog again...lol...so the amp stack is at home.
Love the discussion cuz I can talk guitars till the stars come out.
I'm sure you can dial in some sweet stuff.
My pedal board is about the weight of a camera case . I usually take only one guitar...
This is a shot....ever played through any Fulltone pedals...? OMG.

Being a bass player (mostly modern R&B/blues, I don't do a whole lot of messin with pedals and effects. Just smooth jazzy bass. Funked up on some but not that often.
