Does anyone have any experience with the VueCube 2100? It is looking like the portable I might choose because there is only a coax running from the trailer to the antenna with the power source being inside by the receiver unlike some of the others that require 12 volts to the antenna.
The Pathway X2 also only uses a single cable (unless you hook up 2 receivers).
Plus, the X2 can acquire all of DISH's sats (110, 119, 129 & 61.5, 72, 77). So to me, this is the portable dish to use if you're traveling around the country.
The VueCube Flex 2100 can receive sats 110, 119, 129, and 61.5.
The Winegard Carryout G2 only receives 110, 119, and 129.
Remember, that the X2, Flex, G2, Tailgater, and Anser can only acquire one sat at a time (unlike the Winegard Travler or open-face tripod dishes like the 1000.2 or 1000.4) which makes them pretty useless with DISH DVR receivers.
