No, that's not an in-motion system. I'm sure it would not track after
initial setup. More than that, it ONLY receives the western satellite
cluster, NOT the eastern. That restricts where it can be used --
specifically, I cannot use mine here because the tall trees to the west of
our lot obscure the western satellites. Our fixed antenna is aimed at the
eastern ones. I'd never again buy an antenna that would not work with both
sets.

yep...aiways on ,whether you are moving or stopped, providing there are no ostructions, I also believe that since the unit is permanently mounted like the bat wing aerial, that you can get a device that plugs in to receiver that makes the device portable should you be parked for a longer period with an obstructed view....anyway good to hear it works as advertised...thanks....brian 77 ele 455

One of the nice things about the in-motion sets is when parking you know you have a signal. With the other dishes there may be something in the way and you can't pick up a signal. You may only have needed to move a few feet to obtain the signal but might have to move numerous times to find it. It sure makes things simple. It's also nice to listen to music on a long run where reception can be hard to find (like out west).
I picked up a used KVH in motion in January for $250 that works great and my brother picked one up a week later in Quartzsite for $300.
There are units available with the push to HD, lots of take outs available.
Just do your homework on the systems before buying.

Brian, I'm Direct TV. The Dish systems use a different tech and can get HD with the in motion systems if that is a concern for you. I'm not crazy about the domes as they tend to loose the signal more than an open dish but do like the in motion advantages. We have an old Datron open dish on our bus that works fine but there have been times we had to move to get a signal-the last time this past September along the Columbia River east of Portland. We only had to move a few feet, but it was still a pain. I can read a compass too but line of sight from the roof top isn't the same as from the drivers vantage point. More so in a 45' coach for sure but can still be an issue in our smaller rigs.
Using a carry out dish always had me a little nervous that it might 'walk' away while we were away.
Just my thoughts, Hal
