We like to watch the news and weather more than TV shows (we have them programmed in the DVR). Also Dish has an on-the-go program that you activate/deactivate when you travel, for a reasonable fee. I just hate to put out all that money for the satellite and receiver. I'm reluctant to buy from craigslist in case the items don't work. We're hoping to start traveling more. Thanks for your response.

We have DirecTV at home and I called them about something for the trailer. They said I would either have to buy an additional receiver + the dish or take a receiver from the house and buy the dish. I asked if there was a charge for the time used only....no such luck. We would have to have a monthly plan and whether we used it or not, the bill would come rolling in regardless. We decided the whole thing was just way more hassle and $ than we were interested in. For a few dollars, we just buy a couple new DVDs when we see something good and go with that. Actually, we spend very little time watching anything but the trees, birds, and enjoying the quiet.
