Mobile satellite

We recently sold our Renegade motorhome & are purchasing a toyhauler. In the motorhome, we used a second receiver hooked to home Directv system for 15 years. We still have the receiver box. Can we have an SD system installed in the trailer & still use the HD receiver? Is there a better way to get satellite tv in a mobile unit?

    Wow. I think I'd get a portable dish and learn to aim it.

    If you have it in your home you can get a receiver that gets HD TV for 7 dollars per month. You can start or suspend service anytime if you don't use your rig every month. You can get a receiver with two multiple connections for multiple TV s. I think the automatic dome and receiver sell for 350 dollars. The dome can be portable or hard mounted
