Pay as you go satellite

Thank you all for your input. It looks like I'll be shopping for equipment. I guess the tailgater and two receivers. I would like to be able to record.

I highly recommend getting the Winegard Pathway X2 portable dish instead of the Tailgater. The X2 is capable of receiving the Dish eastern arc satellites as well as the western arc satellites, giving you more aiming options on sites with trees to work through or around. The Tailgater is only capable of receiving the western arc satellites. If you spend any time east of the Mississippi in particular, you'll find there are some TV markets where the local channels are only available on the eastern arc satellites, and other areas where the HD locals are only available on the eastern arc, with only the SD versions on the western arc.
