TV reception for full timers

Anybody know the best source for TV reception for full timing without a home base, as satellite service providers will not provide mobile only service.

Dish pay as you go.

Tailgater auto dish $300.00 on ebay.
Vip211k or v receiver $30.00 to $50.00.

I just bought both of these on ebay for $300.00 shipped.

$7.00 a mo. For receiver fee.
Then the monthly fee for your channel choices.

I know you can get the pay as you go, but I believe it only works if you have a home base. I'm wondering if anybody is full timing without a home base, and has this type of service.

You don't need a home base. However you'll pay more for the programming. It's only $7 if you have dish network at home. But you get just the tailgaters and whatever level of entertainment you want.

The programming is 10 bucks a month more if you don't have Dish at home.

Dish network the way to go for now - they have a bunch of programming "issues" to work out before they start loosing multiple channels like TNT, USA, and others. But, for now, it's a really decent value. When we're on the move we just call in with whatever zip code we're in, and they adjust stuff so we can get the local over the air (OTA) stations as well

Trust me I'm going to check on this service, but it's always good to get "warmed up" before I talk to the providers. First stop is Sams. Can't remember if it's Dish or Direct that's there. Thanks for all the help and ideas.
