X2. Several years ago when we first went full time with a fiver we decided we wanted (1) HD (2) find satellites automatically (3) easy set up/take down (4) no chance of theft. A few months ago we had our third Winegard Travler Direct-TV installed on the roof. Yes they are pricey, but so is buying and traveling in an RV. Like Laco stated, pull in to a site, push a button and within minutes you have all three signals locked in. Time to break camp, push a button and it stows itself in about a minute. We only bring one DVR box from home but we could have had it wired and brought all three.
I think it just boils down to how much camping you do and what type of camping you do. We rarely stay in State Parks but we do travel in our RV 4 to 5 months a year. In the last 5 years we have never been in a CG where we could not get a clear signal.
