Frequently Asked Questions about DISH for RV and Home

How It Works

I'm already a DISH subscriber. Can I add DISH Outdoors to my current DISH account?

Definitely. You’ll need to buy a satellite antenna and receiver first. After that, DISH Outdoors costs only $5/mo. for each month that you want service. All charges will be itemized and included on the same bill as your home DISH Network service.

How do I activate my outdoor service?

Call 1-866-471-1570 whether you’re getting outdoor service for Playmaker for the first time or activating service after a break.

To stop service, simply stop paying your bill and then call 1-800-333-3474 to have a representative put your monthly receiver fees on hold.

Can I use the Playmaker while my vehicle is moving?

If you have the Winegard Road Trip T4 your passengers can watch live TV from the road or you can have it playing in the background.

With the DISH DVR Upgrade Expansion, your TV can play saved recordings while in motion.

Please drive safely!
