In that case you'll need a remote dish to set up away from your rig where it has a clear view of the satellite. Since you don't already have one on the roof, I'd forego that cost and get a carryout that you simply put outside and plug it in.
DirecTV is NOT RV friendly. To get HD you'll need a remote dish twice the size of the ones for SD. Dish, on the other hand seems to have it figured out as they can use the smaller dishes and offer HD. Your choice on programming but if you're keeping Direct, which is what we have, only SD, consider only SD programming. Your life will be easier....Dennis
