We have used Dish for 9 years with NO problems!!! We have one that sits right on the ground and only need two directions, rather than the three needed with a tripod. We have been in many campgrounds where if it was on the roof of the unit, we couldn't get out. That is the main reason we love ours, we carry 75' of cable and can get out wherever we are at. A finder is a "must"....so easy to use!! We "check out" local if it is available. We also get the east coast major networks. It can be set up for the time zone you are billed. Ours is midwest and we are now in AZ, so they come on an hour earlier, but sometimes that is a plus!!
