We have Directv at home and bring one of our receivers with us. We selected the new King Quest automatic antenna. It only weighs 8 lbs. http://kingconnect.com/product/king-quest-satellite-antenna/ It is only Standard Definition but we find that OK. The cost is less than $500 and sets up very fast, typically less than one minute. Just point the carrying handle towards north to minimize search time.
I just finished installing the same King Quest dish on mine yesterday and use an extra receiver from the house. It's working great but keep in mine if you want local channels you need a small adapter box called a "king UC1000 universal controller". It lets it lock on to two sats at a time.
