Really stupid question cc directv/satellite, etc

[SuGar_Shack]

Okay, people. I am TOTALLY confused when it comes to television. Here is what we have in our house:

Genie Gen 2
HR44-200

I am wondering how to get Directv in my RV. I'm assuming I need a Winegard. My son told me that this receiver is high def and I would need a high def portable satellite. Is that true? Thanks, Susie

So, bottom line. I cannot use a portable Winegard for my Genie? Susie

You need a Winegard Trav'ler on the roof for about 1,500 plus install or you can use an antenna on a tripod similar to the one you have at home. You will also need a power inserter and associated cabling.

Yeah, unless you don't mind spending north of a grand for an automatic dish.
