Our Directv HD receiver accepts and displays SD content via 18" round sat dish. Still have our 18" dish around somewhere, but for the last few years we've been using a Slimline 5 HD dish mounted on the same homemade stand we used for the round dish and can usually get a signal camping among the trees. You should be able to use the 18" round dish as a backup for obtaining sat tv when camping in the forest, but it's just as easy to use an HD sat dish on a stand and be able to view HD content. We purchased our HD Directv dish off of Ebay for cheap and if there are no significant obstructions to the southern sky, can be up and running in just a few minutes. There has been a time or two where tree line was so dense that sat signal could not be acquired even with 150' of coax, no issue as we just watched some of the DVDs we always carry for such an occurrence.
