Yeah, NO! This does not make things easier or better. The problem is that there is no cheap replacement for your antenna other than to remove that and install a new one in its place with all the same drastic limitations from either service.
The least expensive "good" replacement option would be a ground base antenna mounted on a tripod. It works almost exactly as a manual roof mounted unit would but it gets all of the programming from Dish or DirecTV in HD! If you are going to move frequently this can be a real PITA. If you want to spend upwards for $400-$600 there are automatic portable or roof mounted dome style antennas which are great for Dish but still cannot receive DirecTV HD programming. If any of this sounds interesting let me know and I can give you more details about what sounds good to you.
