Thanks for the input!
I did find, amazed my earlier Google searches missed this, a DirecTV Equipment comparison grid. Looks like Genie is the unit with the highest HD capacity of 200 hours, and provides other wireless connectivity if we decide to add another TV zone in the RV later.
I also appreciated the thought about just bringing the unit into the Sticks & Bricks home when we are visiting our 'Vacation Home'. I see used DirecTV dishes for sale on Craigslist all of the time - heck, some for free if I come remove them:)!
My wife and I enjoy watching NFL games when traveling. Help me understand the packages. I see Choice package, will it not show NFL games that are played on say NBC, CBS, FOX, ESPN? Or do I have to also get the NFL Sunday Ticket? I see the Red Zone is available in the Max package, but dang it sure adds up cost wise, have never used Red Zone - opinions on if it is worth the extra coin?
And finally, what's the story on the Internet? Does DirecTV provide another connection to the internet that is actually viable for RV surfing, and streaming usage? For example, could I stream a feed to my Ruku3?
TIA again - and boy, I thought the government could take what should be a simple topic and confuse the heck out of it... This, along with our experience with TWC packages, still is a cut above what the government can do to confuse things:)!
