I use one of my spare boxes from Direct in the MH. Direct gave me an extra dish when I got service and 50' of cable. Purchased an extra 100' from the store for longer runs. The only drawback that I have noticed is that when we are in another time zone we must calculate that into what we watch.If we are on the east coast our time will show as pacific time. I don't want to call them and have my location changed to get the local programming. I have the antenna for that. I normally only takes me a few minutes to set it up on location using the sat setup on the box.
