THIS is the correct answer. Hook up to it exactly like you do at home using the same gizmos and you will have DirecTV HD.

I aim a tripod mounted dish all the time. It is HD and the only difference from SD is setting the Skew before you mount the antenna on the tripod. You still aim to sat 101 on Direct. The skew takes care of the other sats.
Just be very precise when you are leveling your tripod and make sure it is absolutely level. I preset my antenna for skew and also elevation. I do add a degree of elevation to allow for any settling of the tripod when the dish is mounted. Then aim the dish to correct azimuth and tweak from there. I set my dish up two days ago and had a 88% signal with no tweaking. About 30 seconds of tweaking and it was up to 98%. Total setup time was less than 10 minutes.
