Portable Automatic Satellite to use with Direct TV

So to my understanding if I want a Portable Automatic Satellite to use with Direct TV Standard definition my choices are either the Winegard Carryout G2 or the King Quest.
Here are my questions:
Is this correct or are there others?
What are the pros and cons to the different systems?
From users what are your opinions of the system you have?
Thanks for your assistance.

    We like our Winegard G2 which is a couple of years old and requires separate power to enable the dish to find the satellites.
    Now I understand the new ones get their power thru the coax eliminating the need for a separate cable.

    Neither of those antennas will work if you want Direct HD programming. For HD you want either a roof mounted Winegard Travler or a tri pod mounted oval dish like you use at home.
