Directv with your home receiver.
This will be my first winter in Fla. I have Directv (Genie)at home and wanted to take my receiver along with a portable dish and use it. I just purchased a Directv slimline dish with the proper LNB. ...

Note: You will need an 8 way splitter with your power inserter if you want to use a Genie. I have three DVR's in my RV and have an issue with setup using the 8 way splitter. The Genie uses 5 channels and that only leaves 3 channels for the other two DVR's. Have to go through setup with each of the other two and set them (or at least one of them to single line) to make the system work. I can't find a way to reduce the channels taken by the Genie to and number less than five.
Even if you only have one other receiver with the Genie, an 8 way splitter will be needed.
Also, I use a legacy (not SWM) horn with my meter to acquire the satellite and then change it out to SWM before setting up my receivers. This is not for everyone. I have a self powered meter that makes this system work best for me.
