Thanks everyone. Sounds like Dish is my answer. One question.....do you get pretty good service/coverage at just about anywhere? Next summer we are hoping to go to Yellowstone. We have been there before and didn't have good cell service, does the satellite reception work pretty good everywhere?
Yes, We got great service in remote areas around Yellowstone this summer. A cell phone needs to be able to "see" a tower to get a signal". A satellite dish only needs to be able to see the satellite to get a picture. Very heavy rain, snow, or trees can interfere with reception. The reason we selected a portable dish (Pathway X2) is that you can position it where there is a clear view of the sky. If the dish is permanently mounted to your roof, you're out of luck if there is a tree in the way, or you have to move to a different site.
