[WeBeFulltime]

Since you will be stationary for 3 months I recommend you contact a Dish Network independent installer to set you up using a 1000.2 or 1000.4 Dish Network dish. Don't call Dish Network but Google search for local independent installer. This will give you the service you want without having to invest $ into equipment at start-up. Then you will have the time to research and determine what you ultimately want.
We have been full timing for 7 years and Dish customers for 10 years. We use a 1000.2 Dish mounted on a surveyor's tripod and have a Dish Network Hopper3 receiver. This setup gives us all options that Dish offers. With the automatic dishes you can sometimes be limited from what I understand. We are never in a spot longer than 1 month and setting the equipment up after a move usually takes less than 15 minutes and I do it myself.
