X2 on Bill's advice, although you do need to be aware that neither the Pathway X2 or any other "dome" style dish will work with the Dish multi-tuner "Hopper" DVR series receivers. Only the Dish single tuner "Wally" and the older VIP series receivers support it. The Hoppers can use the Winegard "Trav'ler" automatic roof mounted dish or a portable tripod mounted manually aimed dish though.
I should add that our first satellite TV system cost a bit less than $250 complete with the receiver, tripod mounted dish, signal meter, and all wiring. Eight years later, we still use the same tripod mounted dish and wiring, but have since upgraded to Hopper series receivers. Technically, we're still on the "Pay-As-You-Go" plan, but Dish is our only TV source other than OTA, so we no longer shut it down.
