the easiest and cheapest starting route would be a standard tripod mount DISH HD antenna, as you see on or near most homes, called a 1000.2 unit. it will support up to 3 different Receivers(VIP211k or VIP211z are the most common), and each tv can then watch whatever Satellite or Channel they wish.... this unit requires you to manually set it out to view the satellite locations, and zone it in to the correct angles to see all three satellites, which can be a little time consuming. Once you get the hang of it you can do it fairly quickly, and all three receivers will have both SD and HD channel choices.

like us, if you also wish to have an additional 4th Receiver and TV for it's own channels, then you could also purchase an additional Portable Antenna, like the King Dish Tailgater or King Tailgater2(two outputs) for the 4th tv. The portable unit is a small unit you can easily store and set out on the ground or on your coach roof. It acquires the signal itself within a few minutes and supports the same receivers.
