Peg Jack,
The DirecTV dish --- even the 3 LNB one --- is easy to use. On average it takes us about 15 minutes from the time the tripod hits the dirt/grass/cement to acquire a signal. After a few times setting it up you would be an 'old pro' at it. Don't let someone scare you off of that kind of setup.
We have the DirecTV system and have the RV waiver that allows us to receive both east coast and west coast feeds. Very nice to be able to watch programs 3 hours ahead of time.
Peggy and Jack I can't help you with the HD or the Sports packages since I don't have either. I guess HD would appear a little better than the standard but we've seen the HD and while a bit more definition we are perfectly happy with the SD stuff. This is all simply a personal choice. I believe DirecTV does have HD that you can get on the road. As I said earlier we have a 3 LNB Antenna and there is a 5 LNB one also. I suspect the 5 LNB is the one you need to get the HD. Perhaps someone will come along and educate us both on this issue. I suspect the 5 LNB would be a little harder to aim but certainly not impossible. Just would need a little practice.
Good luck.
