Direct TV for motorhome

Can anyone tell me what to order from Direct TV so that I can take a receiver occasionally on vacation, and hook it up to a tripod and get service. Apparently, ordering the "Genie" won't do it as each invididual receiver must be connected to the GENIE

If you do not currently have any DirecTV equipment you certainly can use a Genie. You just take the Genie and not the remotes in the RV. If you want to be able to leave sat. TV working at home while you are away as well then you can order a Genie, plus an H25 and clients for the other TV. You would then be able to take the H25 with you as it is its own stand alone HD satellite receiver. You will need to ensure your tripod setup uses the new DirecTV SWM LNB but otherwise there are no concerns.
So take the Genie with you or not. The choice is yours. If you want to have access to a DVR while on the road but don't want to take the Genie you can have DTV provide you with the Genie, an HR24 DVR plus clients and that the HR24 in the RV when you travel.
I have a Genie in my living room and a client in the bedroom giving full access to everything on the Genie on that TV as well. Whatever you do at home you can do in your RV.
