Which satellite to get?

Hi guys I'm a newbie and I just bought a georgetown xl 352qs. My question is I'm looking at getting a roof mounted satellite dish, and was wondering what you guys recommend. Should I go with the In motion or a collapsible roof mount. Let me know your thoughts, and what brand to get. Thanks in advance for your help.

I've been using the old single lnb for years. Ordered a dish tailgater last weekend from camping world, and it arrived this week. Set it up the night it came and it only took a couple minutes for it to configure and start showing full HD programing. It looks like all the positive reviews on this thing are right on. Now I need to figure out how to rig some type of mount to the rv ladder.

Do those require a satellite subscription to work?

You have to be a dish customer and have the 211 receiver. We've been using a receiver from a spare room for years, but dish recently replaced our receivers with the 211's. There's no extra charge if you're already a customer and have the receiver. Ordered the tailgater from camping world. It was $350.00, but there was a 10% discount code on the cover of the last good sam magazine. Paid just under $315.00 with free shipping.

Ok thats what I was wondering. Where our rig sits, its apparently just out of range to pick up a signal with the roll up antenna on the roof, so we are considering a satellite service. Then we can take it with us as we travel.
