Good posts avove. There are areas where DTV does not trasmit SD and we found this out in 2014 in central Oregon so we upgraded to HD.
We have a single receiver that we use at home and in the RV. Move the receiver, plug in 3 cables, turn it on, and in the RV push 2 buttons to raise the dish. It's a quick process and all prior recorded programs are available. And the receiver records multiple programs at the same time as needed.
This is not quite true. All of the DTV programming (other than HD only channels and the National Networks) is available everywhere in the US (and a bit of Canada and a bit of Mexico). It all comes from the same 101 satellite. It's only the Network programming (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, CW) that can be hit or miss depending upon where you are in the Country. Users of the open face antenna do not have these limitations at they will receive all 3, 99, 101 and 103, satellites
