We have Slimline SWM dishes at home and for the trailer. I find the Slimline easier to align than the old SD antenna. Set the mast vertical, set the elevation and squew via the built in scales on the Mount and bring up the signal meters on one of the TV's and swing it until you find the SATs. Takes longer to set it up than align.
We have two HDDVR'S in the trailer with Wholehome running on our own hub.
Dish is better however about changing you locations for locals. I have a chat session with DirecTV and that works well for location changes.
