I have the carry out and service from Dish. On initial set up, it took an hour or so get get everything right. We have a receiver and external hard drive that stay in the coach. The hard drive is to record shows and pause live tv. The receiver for the rv is not the same as the one in our house, but that's what the dish people said we had to have. If you use the one from your house you will loose local programming. I can watch local news at home 400 miles away.
Under the tv, there was an issue. There is a cable loop there and you have to switch the cables around until you get your signal to the receiver. Shouldn't be a problem though. The guy from dish I spoke with was pretty good and we figured it out. Now, just have to set the carry out anywhere there is a view of the southern sky. On the ground, tripod, on top of the rv, it don't matter. Just get it somewhere you can put a lock through the handle so you don't loose the spendy part of the system. Set up camp, set the dish out and turn it on. The dish will find itself and your good to go.
Good luck
