Best choice for us was a DirecTV Trav'ler three satellite, single wire automatic dish. And a Genie DVR receiver. I installed it myself, not too hard. This lets us get three satellites at the same time, seamlessly switch from on to another and record and watch up to 5 programs at once. It is reasonably easy to change your mobile acount service address so that you get local TV stations. With a mobile account you can suspend your service for periods when you are not using it. The only place we have had trouble getting a signal was in heavily wooded campgrounds.
There are lots of options at a wide range of costs. It pays to check them out. Basically you can choose DirecTV or Dish and then hardware. If you are getting a mobile account and don't want to do it yourself then you have to go to an RV dealer or someone else who will install and set it up. DirecTV and Dish will set it up in your home but not in your RV. We have a home DirecTV dish and the one on the coach and move the Genie receiver back and forth as needed.
Glad to help you figure this out. It is a bit complicated. i got a lot of help when I did mine.
