They all are right in what they are tell you. I didn't want to change to Dish so I stayed with DTV. I have the Gennie with two minins at home. You have to get a stand along for your M/H. We have a Direct H24-200 in the MH with a Winnegard T-4. It is capable of getting Dish if we ever want. As far as the HD channels we don't miss them there are more then enought channels. All the local ones. The sat. in motion is something else. Note. If you have the new WIFI Directv they want let you have a stand along.
