Pros
- Finds DISH satellites on its own, so setup is a cable and a scan
- 7 lb unit that tucks into a truck bed or a trailer bin
- No separate power cable: it runs off the receiver coax
Cons
- DISH only, with no DIRECTV or Bell TV
- Serves one receiver, so one TV at a time
- Stationary only, and the receiver is sold separately
