We bought a TailGator and dish receiver total cost about $400, and use a "RV Package" which is not a contract, you only pay for the time you use it. Go out for a weekend have activated watch three days call and cancel service. You do need to have a full month of service paid for to activate again, so that is when you pay for the three days you used before. We didn't have dish at home, so this worked for us. The TailGator gets HD Chanels as well as standard def and automatically finds the Satellites as they change for HD.
