one last question for now...what satellite antennae are you utilizing for DTV?
Good question. The little portable antennas will only receive SD signals from DTV. With Dish they provide HD and SD. Most of us with DTV are HD snobs and have opted for the big antenna mounted on a tripod and/or a rooftop mounted automatic antenna. The rooftop ones are great but not so much when parked under trees. Then a tripod is necessary.

The other consideration is that DTV is discontinuing SD broadcast around April 2019. Consequently those small portable antennas will likely be useless for DTV (but Dish will still work).
