Both DISH and DirecTV offer HD programming. An HD capable sat receiver is
required. As far as sat TV for the boat and home, not a tough deal to
accomplish. I'm a DISH subscriber. I pay the going rate for my service
package at home, and for an extra $5 per month I can have an additional
receiver access my account. In my case, the additional receiver resides
permanently on the boat. I started with DirecTV years ago with a receiver
only on the boat. I liked the service so well, I wanted to add it to the
house. DirecTV offers the same $5 monthly rate for an additional receiver,
but stipulates that both receivers be attached to the same telephone line.
I have no hard-wired telephone service at the dock in the marina, so DirecTV
wanted to charge me a full service subscription for the second receiver.
Dish has no such restrictions, and was happy to let me have the second
receiver anywhere I wanted it, with only the $5 extra monthly fee. Works
great for me. Before I subscribed to satellite TV, I briefly tried Cox's
digital cable service and didn't care for it. I like the DISH service much
better. I have basic cable going to the less important TV's in the house
and Cox's broadband cable internet service, which is terrific.

Thanks, good information.

When you say "additional receiver", I assume you mean receiver and
antenna both?
