Heybud...
We have had directTV in our principal home for 11 years. It has served us well, but escalating service costs are like death, taxes, and cable rates. I doubt that DishTV is much different. I think the scale tipper will be who has the best introductory promotion.

A little hint; you didn't hear it here.
If you have DirectTV (and likely DishTV also) at your principal home, you pay the normal rate for whatever programming package you want.
You go to Ebay or shop the Big-box electronic stores and buy another receiver and dish that is compatible with the service you use at home. You hook it up at home like it is going to be a separate box in another bedroom (no second dish required....yet), call your dish service provider, and have them fire up the 2nd receiver as a second receiver on the same basic dish system already installed. They charge another $5 a month for this second receiver. Then, unhook it, take it to wherever you want it installed. You install the second dish and hook up this newly fired second receiver and you now have another system for $5 a month. The only drawback is that you will not be able to order movies because it would go thru a phone line that is not registered.

I have never done this before...it is just something that I have heard.
