I have dish mounted on roof and a portable Vu Qube. Both work well. Trees are a problem with roof mount,but Vu Qube you can move around.best of both worlds.

I am surprised how many people have both a automatic portable and a fixed automatic antenna. I agree with, you do not need both.

Yes you can run DircTv on the KD. Not sure how handy you are with installing things.

It is important to note the difference in DirecTV's hi-def vs. standard-def offerings. The King dome will not receive DirecTV hi-def because DirecTV transmits all hi-def content on "Ka" band. The King dome will only receive "Ku" band. All the standard-def DirecTV channels are transmitted on "Ku" band. So if you want Hi-Def using your King dome, you need to switch to DISH Network because they transmit ALL of their programming (standard-def AND hi-def) on Ku band, and can be received on the King dome. (Confused? Several years ago DirecTV DID transmit their hi-def channels on Ku band. That is why you will sometimes see products like the Kingdom advertised that it can receive DirecTV hi-def. But no longer true now that DirecTV moved all hi-def channels to the new Ka band satellites at 99 & 103 degrees). Hope this helps clear up the confusion.

Hi tadpole2 - No, the VuCube can only receive Ku band signals. From the King website: "These antennas are not compatible with DIRECTV's Ka band HD signals". Here is url to the king website:
