DirectTV / Wineguard

[rkymtn57]

Please , excuse me for probably asking a question which has been asked many times , i searched without any specific luck.
Direct TV has just told me that I must get a dish and receiver from Wineguard to take my home box with me when i travel , is there any eletrical switching that Wineguard or Direct has to do before it will work when i travel ?

I want to find a used dish and whatever else i need on EBay to stay within my budget.

Thank you ! D

All I did was buy a dish and tripod off the internet and I take along a DirecTv box from the house. The only negative is we don't get the local channels from home, otherwise, we have great sat service on the road.
