They're all good, The 24's have 500gb Hard Drives and are smaller. Don't forget to take two BBC's along for each DVR. Needed for HD programming in non-SWM dish setup.
BBC
The B-Band Converter module is designed to allow DIRECTV receivers and DVRs to operate using legacy (non-SWiM) dishes like the AT9 and original Slimline dishes. Required for the following: HR20, H21, H23, HR21, HR22, H24 and HR24. Not required for HR23. H25 and HR34 receivers cannot be used with legacy dishes.

Thanks for posting that BBC link that showed what a BBC is, I did not know what a BBC is
I once read that studies have shown that most accidents occurr within 10 miles of home, so I moved

You should already have them and can take 'em along. Just don't forget 'em.

We will anxiously await your report. I think you will make Rube Goldberg proud.

Not many people are old enough to know who he was. I don't know if this the person who told me this was correct, he pointed out a house on Asharoken Avenue, Asharoken , LI NY that was once owned by Goldberg.

If you have Directv at your home, it shouldn't take much more than $100 to get the same service on the road. Your $1000 + figures are making my stomache churn. IM me if you are curious how.

I am very interested in finding out how to do it for $100, perhaps you can post it on this thread so others can benefit. The $1,000 plus number you are referring to includes a dish that receives the HD channels and will automatically lock int all the satellites at the flick of a button in a few minutes.
Please let me know how to do this for $100

You CANNOT do what OP is trying to do for anywhere near $100. The equipment alone is $1,400 for openers.
DirecTV SD manual setup on a cheap mount, sure.

I know it would be impossible, maybe he failed to read that I don't want to get out a start pointed the dish a few times a day.I have health issues that require me to make frequent stops and I don't want to pull into some rest stop on the interstate a few times a day . to point a dish.
By the way I really wanted to try a portable set up because I may trade campers again in the near future and I hate to leave an almost new dish on the old one, but I have been convinced to roof mount it by forum members and the final factor is getting a good look at the size of this thing in person.
In the long run with the roof mount it will be nice to just pull into a rest stop, push one button to start my generator and another button to have the dish unpack and aim itself and be watching TV in 5 minutes
