What is the best and easiest Direct TV portable HD dish and tripod?
We have been using a non HD 18" portable dish & tripod for years. But now would like to step up to HD but hear they are hard to get tuned in. Thanks in advance.
"The best" is pretty easy as there is only 1 option for DirecTV HD and that is a full sized home style antenna. No, they are not much more difficult to setup than your 18" antenna as all 3 satellites are side by side. You just have to adjust the dish skew to the proper angle and when you find 101 the other 2 should already be there. The TV4RV is a very good setup and having a sturdy mount makes everything much easier. I also recommend the Dish Pointer app by Augmented Reality for your phone so you can actually "see" the satellites in the sky before you begin the setup.
