Satellite TV questions

I am trying to find out what my options are for satellite tv. Do I carry around a satellite dish in the storage compartment, and then set it up in a bucket or on a tripod at every campsite I go to?

Yes, I did this for many years. Or you can have a automated dish that sits on the picnic table or mounted on the roof elsewhere.

Is it hard to get aligned?

No except for getting over the learning curve.

What about costs? Is this something I can add to my current bill fairly cheaply, or am I looking at $50 or $60 a month?

You can take your home receiver and no additional costs except the one time cost for the dish for the RV.

This is for a 5th wheel and our family will be weekend camping with the occasional week long trip. I know nothing about portable solutions, so any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

There are many options available to you and there are thousands of posts on this subject.

We've always taken a home receiver with us in the rig and our receivers and dishes have evolved. The basics are that both dishes must be compatible with the receiver.

So what you need is dependent upon what you have and/or plan to upgrade to. So what model DTV receiver do you have?
