Dry camping with satellite TV possible?
Update/Edit: It seems some people were confused by my original post, and I have some new discoveries. Looking into getting Dish Network's Tailgater and VIP 211K receiver. Or anything, really. ...

For the last six months we used a Pathway X2 and 211K receiver, mostly on an inverter(200-400W). We turned off the inverter every night and turned it back on when we wanted to watch tv (to conserve batteries). We had no problems at all with the Pathway or the 211K doing this. Typically, the Pathway would take 5 minutes to find the satellites if the area was clear, up to 15 minutes if there was anything in the way.
