Dry camping with satellite TV possible?
Update/Edit: It seems some people were confused by my original post, and I have some new discoveries. Looking into getting Dish Network's Tailgater and VIP 211K receiver. Or anything, really. ...

I do not know about the carryout but some can work w/o power and some can not.
ALL antennas consume power.. How much depends on if they are motorized.
Best option for DISH (Only option for DirecHDTV) is a tripod mounted dish.. But the reasons for this are as follows:
Ability to have 2 receivers (or a DVR) so you can watch (or record) multiple shows at one time OFF different satellites (DISH)
Ability to RECEIVE HD (DirecTV)
Larger dish = more gain = stronger signals (All services).
