replacement for Directv
I know there have been endless discussions on Directv vs. Dish on this forum. I'm interested in the latest update. I personally use Directv at home and will transfer one of my receivers to the 5th...

I’ve had both and DISH is WAY more RV friendly. You can reauthorize your sat box with your smartphone. DISH doesn’t care if you change locals everyday.
I bought a carryout auto seek dome Winegard Pathway X2. It does HD.
You can’t use a Hopper but the Wally is ok. You can add a USB drive to use DVR feature, no monthly fee. Just a one time $40 DVR fee.
Way better tech support than DTV.
Yeah, anything would be better than DTV tech support!!
Your suggestion is one of my considerations, but cost wise, I'd probably be better off using one of my current DTV receivers and buying a new HD automatic sat antenna.
The Dish Wally/antenna and $40 pay as you go is ideal if you are just getting started, but I'm not sure if it would be best for me. I'll sure keep it in mind.
One thing I've noticed is that the Dish portable automatic satellite antennas are a little less expensive than those for DTV. I assume they all work well.
