Another sat question

Question

First, Direct TV in the house.  I have HD receiver H23-600 and standard receiver D12-100.  I want a portable, self directing sat antenna , only one cable if possible.  I know that I cannot get high def from Direct on a portable.  Can live with that.  So using either of my listed receivers, what portable antenna will work?  I also don't care about locals when I'm on the road, over the air will work for that.  Suggestions please that have been proven.

First, I would suggest upgrading your home system to the latest Genie and minis.  Next would then buying a decent oval dish to match the one Direct will install on your house.  Simple.  It's the only way you can do a single coax from dish to RV.

Your D12 will do a great job with any of the dome style auto pointing antennas.  Only a single coax run necessary despite information to the contrary.

Thanks Bill.  Any one any better than the other.  I want this to be a one time, works out of the box quest.

I used to work for Winegard and I am a big fan of their products.  The Carryout G2 would be my choice.  King Dome also sells a similar dome product but I have no information about the product and you rarely see anyone posting anything about their domes for DirecTV (lots of Tailgaters, but that's Dish only).

We have Direct at home and use a non-hd box with our Weingard Anser Sat.  Totally portable, can use 2 cables for different TVs, and it's so easy to use!  Simply set the heighth (often at 44 for the East Coast) and then it automatically finds the sat.  So easy!  Good luck.
