We have DirecTV at home and take one of the boxes on the road. That works for us. Don't know why the OP had a problem with DirecTV at home leading to him dropping them, but whether it is DirecTV or Dish - I would need to have something other than stock OTA programming to satisfy my viewing needs, which incidentally rarely includes movies.
Just my 2 cents.
