We already have a DirecTV account and will be using a Standard Def receiver. Being new to the RV world, we're wondering what others are using for a dish. We need to make a decision as to whether to use a portable dish sitting on the ground or install a dish of some sort on the roof. So what is everyone using and why? What are the advantages of a portable over a mounted roof dish or vice versa? Chuck
For SD only DirecTV you can use ANY antenna from a simple antenna on a stick you point yourself (cheap) to a roof mounted automatic (very expensive). There is no 1 antenna that's required. Every antenna DirecTV ever made will work with your receiver since you only need to be able to locate the 101 satellite to receive all of the SD broadcasts.
I fully understand what works with DirecTV. I'm looking for first hand info on what others are using and why it works for them. Chuck
