Be sure you bring along all your account numbers etc. My SAT RCVR sometimes needed reset and you have to call your SAT provider or maybe you can login to them online and not have to talk to anyone. I have DIRECTV and can do that... You will need your account info when doing this...
My portable SAT DISH has two ports on it so I bring along two RG cables and two SAT RCVRS so I can setup TV for both the living room and the bedroom.
I also found it easier to use the VID output from the SAT RCVR and switch my trailer TV to VID 1 to watch SAT TV using the remote.
