Portable antennas come in two general classes.
Dome/cube, (Covered enclosed often automatic antennas)
And manual DISHES (Same as you have at home)
There is no Dome/Cube type antenna designed for land use that does Dish HD, none, not one, I am told there is one for Marine use but it's a monster.
WHY
There are two frequency bands used by Dish, one for HD one for SD, and the domes only get the one band. Plus there are 3 birds used now that some domes can deal with but the multi-band issue is the problem.
Think you misspoke. You said Dish; think you meant Direct. With Dish you can get HD with domes, but not direct.
