Datron semi automatic seeking antenna on motorhome

[dondonohoo]

I have a Datron semiautomatic antenna that takes a low speed data cable. Currently I have Direct TV. Does Dish TV have a receiver that will work with this antenna?

I think the question should be... is your satellite compatible with Dish Network? I googled Datron RV Satellite and got this page

According to their description of the satellite... it is compatible with Directv and Dish Network.

o, and if you only have one wire coming from the dish, then you cant use any of the dual-tuner dish receivers, just the single tuners.

I also have a Datron on my MH. I have done LOTS of research, and it appears that Dish does not have a receiver with a low speed data port. This is where the Datron plugs in. Good news, however, it seems there are a lot of later model Sony DirectTv receivers that have the data port. But, I can't say which, if any, other than the Sony Sat-A4 will work.
