Is this tripod setup all we will need for DirecTv?

[Delaine and Lindy]

Wannabe, We have use both of those and still have them laying around. They work and we use the metal type for a year. But when we went to HDTV the 5 LNB dish is much larger and heaver. We also have Satellite dish for our computer. And it came with Surveyors type Tri-Pod. I went to Lowe's and got the Aluminum Tri-Pod and it works great, used it all over Texas and as for West as Arizona. One of the major steps is getting the Dish level with with the Surveyor type Tri-Pod that is very easy. And can be used on unlevel ground. And can be secured by water in gallon jugs, of the screw in rods that goes into the ground with a nylon strap. Just a suggestion. Good luck on your choice. GBY...
