I hear you on this. I use the Winegard Carryout MP-1 Portable SD dish with a DirecTV SD receiver from one of the bedrooms in my house. Works perfectly, and I am watching TV right now in a park that has very poor OTA reception.
I know your original question is about the possibility of renting an antenna to try out before you buy and I have never heard of such a rental. You can however rest assured that provided you can see clear sky where the DirecTV satellite is you will enjoy this unit. At $150 it is reasonable. I have been using mine for 2 years now without issue, except in Canada where the sat signal is blocked.
