Satellite tv antenna

Question

Instead of the tripod and dish to get our DirectTV, we are considering purchasing the King Quest 4Q4100 and the little tripod  to set it on. We understand we won't get HD channels, but we don't mind that.  Is there experience out there with this antenna? We just go to Florida and stay for 5 months, the trip down we just use our rig antenna.

It is rumored that DirecTV will soon be ending all SD broadcast so your system as purposed will become a brick.Stick with the dish.

Its more than a rumor, DTV has made announcements that their Sat 101 and all SD service will end by 2019. They already stopped taking any new SD customers and will only activate SD receivers as a replacement for existing SD service.
I'm happy with SD, and had no interest in HD, but looks like we'll all be forced to switch.

There will be no more directv HD as I understand after 2019.  So the antennas life span will be three years MAX.  Are you OK with that?

X2. It may be a mistake to invest in an SD only setup at this time.Mpeg2 SD Service Stopping
