We had Shaw Direct to travel with at first. Then after two years and paying for cable during the summer and having it suspended at reduced cost each winter - we had satellite installed at our house. There, we have three wires coming off a permanently mounted dish. We already had a dish for traveling with. We take two of the receivers with us for the winter. One is only a backup. The one left at home will still work fine, with the same package we always use.
If you have an RV one may get a roof mounted setup, fairly expensive, but very convenient. The dish folds down on the roof when not needed and traveling. You will be good for the Shaw Direct programs right into Mexico and possibly Central America, the only system with so flexible a footprint. One can use the tripod mounting system for the dish, with various helping gizmos to help direct the dish onto the satellite needed.
