Up to just this past summer when we acquired another rig where the owner threw in both King Pro Directv and Dish domes, we would manually set up our own satellite antenna, always using the same version mounted at home. Sure there is a learning curve, but after a couple of decades I could set it up in the dark among towering ponderosa pines.
Really pretty easy, first and foremost, plumb the mast, pop on antenna, use compass and sat receiver to quickly dial in. Takes more time to get tripod and antenna out of storage bay than anything else, Dish takes longer as receiver is not as quick to respond to antenna adjustments. Takes about 10 minutes tops for programming to begin downloading process, I do this while DW sets up interior upon arrival.
For the most part we use the King Dish dome installing it in a special mount that allows for quick removal should we have some obstacle blocking signal access. We have accepted dome shortcomings of slower access to subscribed content, 1 HD and 1 SD output, and quicker signal loss due to inclement weather. We still carry residential antenna and tripod just in case.
