All the Dome and Cube type portables are single Sat devices. They can see one satellite at a time. For DirecTV that is 101W For DirecHDTV that is.. Sorry folks that service needs two more birds those antennas can not even see.

Still. you could make a portable mount and make them portable but .. Well. I do not recommend, big, bulky and heavy.
NOW. on an open site, the automatic roof mounts work great. But on a wooded site, parked under the evil signal eating tree.. No joy.
