Direct TV portable satellite

We are tech. dummies. I see that the portable dome satellites for Direct TV do NOT get HD. It also says they do not get all the satellites as compared to the Slimline roof mount satellite. Does the portables get all the channels but not HD??
  • Ended up going with the hr24 along with the g2+. Quick tests showed it worked pretty well, even with the antenna sitting on the ground, pouring rain and a tree partially blocking the signal. Didn't even have to call customer support :)Ordered an RF remote so the cupboard door where the receiver is mounted doesn't have to be open. Waiting on some aluminum stock to build an antenna mount, seems I should have checked when I ordered the ladder mount, ladder isn't straight up and down. I'll salvage parts of it and build a custom mount since I'm reluctant to drill holes in the roof considering the amount of rain we get around here. I'll post some pictures when I get it done.
