While the automatic dish is a great item, I don't want one mounted on my 5'er. I would get one in a minute if there was an option for DirecTV HD, but there isn't and I'm not switching to Dish. My reason for not having a mounted unit is I camp host and I don't know how many times I have seen frustrated campers that can't get TV at all due to obstructions above their site. I can move my dish/tripod virtually anywhere and have TV. I have even set it up 150' away on top of a ridge to get over trees. Works like a champ.
