Lou,
We will be up to the Cape around the 4th of June. Hope to have the Sat. rig in by then.

Just Lou said:It is/was not my understanding that the P-A-Y-G plan is SD only.
Gary RV Roamer said:Since Dish has both SD and HD on the same satellite, I don't see any reason for it to be SD only. Unless maybe the PAYG plan only provides an SD receiver.

I use a carry out dish on a tripod, and have found that it has another advantage besides the low cost. I have been in some heavily wooded campsites that had the same problem as your s & b house. By moving the tripod around I have usually been able to find a line between the trees.

Just Lou said:The receiver that they advertise with it is the same one paired with the automatic Carry Out antenna. I just checked The Dish Network ad, and it indicates HD among the tiers of service offered with PAYG.
I'm looking for confirmation that it is NOT too much of a hassle for an old man to manually aim the dish.
jim and di said:The Directv system has 5 satellites, I do not move the dish to switch channels, no do I do that at the stick house. Its aligned to all 5 which are in a 20% vertical span. One thing I might have mentioned is there is a app for a Iphone that turns the camera into a satellite finder, shows where the are so you can just look a the Iphone screen and see the 5 satellites and it has the name of each, I only tune to the 101 and 119 seems the others are in between and connect.
I think the auto units are great but since we are stationary for more than we are underway the portability is a plus.
