I have a new 179. I bought a very small, compact Sony Blu Ray (approx 6"x4" x 1.5") that is stored in the top drawer when not in use.  I configured the wiring so I can play both the tv and DVD/blu Ray sound through the main system speakers.  Obviously it can also play cd's   

It cost $58


When I have a few minutes I plan to install and wire it so that it sits on the floor of the "closet" .

Thanks for the input. I hope I can find DVD small enough to fit in the front of the TV. Is there any 2019 176 pod owners that can comment on how they like the new pod?]]> Sun, 08 Jul 2018 20:50:30 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11767&PID=112066#112066 2019 R-pod No DVD : Originally posted by AwchiefI... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11767&PID=111154#111154 Author: Happy Tripping

I'm looking for this capability, but don't know what models 'work'. 

In ignorance, I assumed I needed to use the harness of the Jensen (now defunct), which is very complicated. 

Plugging directly into the tv will meet my need, I assume that this bypasses the Jensen harness to the speakers(?). 

Can you give us the model's manufacturer/name?

We bought a 32" TV with DVD player from Walmart for our 190.  Moved the factory TV to the bedroom and hung the new TV in the dining area.

Thanks for the info. I have Direct TV but need to use a power inserted with my Winegard G2 antenna. Direct tv does not get HD when using the G2. I will be going back to Dish when contract expires. With a Dish Wally reciever and the G2 antenna.i just plug it in The G2 automatically finds the Satellite and I am watching HD TV. Direct TV is a hassle. ]]> Fri, 22 Jun 2018 10:30:54 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11767&PID=111131#111131 2019 R-pod No DVD : I have a small profile BluRay... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11767&PID=111130#111130 Author: Awchief

I have a small profile BluRay player that is plug and play directly to the TV.

Unfortunately, TV reception is a factor of available television broadcast channels and adequate signal strength for the antenna to receive. Places closer to major cities usually have adequate reception. Places far away from major cities have few, if any, channels available. This is regardless of whether one has the old batwing antenna (or the antenna I installed to replace it when it broke) or the one that can be aimed.

One can carry a satellite dish and receiver for DirectTV, or carry cable if the RV park at which one is staying has cable available, or just carry movies to watch, either from the older Jensen DVD unit or by separate device if one has the newer Furrion unit.

In Tempe, we had a lot of stations. At West Yellowstone, we had one station, but it was not viewable as it was too fringe for adequate reception.

i also looked for quite a while for the player or slot for the dvd on my new 2019 190.  nothing there.  there most likely is a separate thread on this, but what does everyone do to get tv reception without spending a fortune.  i have direct tv at home.]]> Fri, 22 Jun 2018 09:46:33 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11767&PID=111127#111127 2019 R-pod No DVD : I think DVD players are going... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11767&PID=111126#111126 Author: john in idaho

I think DVD players are going away.  New cars don't have them either.  One is supposed to use their iPhone.  We have books on DVD's to listen to when driving.  The portable DVD players are not very good, and require batteries or yet another dangling cord from the console.  Rather disappointing.]]> Fri, 22 Jun 2018 09:36:34 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11767&PID=111126#111126 2019 R-pod No DVD : I just ordered a 2019 RP 176.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11767&PID=111121#111121 Author: fognet

I just ordered a 2019 RP 176. After looking at the entertainment setup for all 2019's, I see they no longer provide A DVD player with the new Furrion AM/FM radio. 
This is very disappointing because we always enjoyed a movie before bedtime in our previous R-pod. I know it is early, but has anyone installed a DVD player in thier new RP 176. If so, what brand and where did you place it.
I am very upset that the manufacturer has chose to eliminate this important item to save a few bucks.
