I have directv at home. It's $5/MO for an extra box (plus purchase of box). Is a dish easy to use? What antenna is recommended? Can't I just us a box I already have rather than buying a new one if I wanted to go that route?
Yes if you have it home all ready you can do that. I use take one with me and had a tripod dish mount. Takes about 10 minutes to set it up with out a automated antenna. Works great if you want TV. Setting the dish only needs a simple compass for the azimuth and the then you set the elevation. To get those setting you just search the zip code of where you are at. Give yourself a half hour the first time and you will be a expert. Or just youtube would be easier.
