The cheapest way to take DirecTV HD on the road is to get a Slimline 3, a tripod to hold it and learn to set it up. I did it this way for years before installing an automatic Winegard on the roof. I still carry a portable setup when I expect to be in a place where trees could be a problem.

For the portable setup,I found that I have the best luck using a legacy LNB, working with a cheap, self powered, meter to find the satellites and then swap over to a SWM, LNB for viewing.
