I'm looking at dishes currently for DirecTV. It might be a bit of a digression, but I'm wondering what's best:
- Something like the Winegard Anser that is totally portable and "automatic" at around $400
- A dish and tripod set up for around $100
- A wind-up dish with "elevation sensor" for around $300
- A wind-up dish without the "elevation sensor" for around $178
I'm not afraid of finding the satellites manually, but my understanding is that stability of the tripod is an issue which makes me think the wind-up might be the best bet. The downside, again based on what I've read, is limited ability to angle the thing.
