Hello all. I'm going camping for the first official time this weekend in the new camper. I'm looking to get a portable carry out satellite dish...manual pointing is fine. Manns Rv and Flagg Rv both have them on backorder and radio shack dosent sell them any more. I'm heading up to northern NH and the camping world that is on the way only has the 3-400$ model. Where can I get one of these? I have directv already at home.
Thanks in advance.

Check Craigslist. There should be plenty of standard definition dishes for sale or even free in your area. If you can find a tripod too thats a bonus, but you may have to get one at CW. Make sure you have plenty of coax for positioning around potential signal breaking obstacles (50+'). Manual is the cheapest and very simple to set up. I am assuming you will be pulling one of your boxes from home and taking it with you.

I've tried googling this and all i get locally is repairmen who don't "sell" dishes.
