    My husband and I are just getting started and I have to have my "American Idol". We are looking for a satellite system that can be used in motion. Does anyone have any experience with satellite tvs and/or any recommendations on which system we should use? Also, do we have to buy the satellite system separately and does the direct tv/dish network have to be subscribed to separately? Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

    this is the link for the vu qube v30, http://www.kingcontrols.com/vu_qube/v30.asp it's the one you need and then just take your box (dish/driectv) and hook it up or you can add a box to your acc (dish) for $5 or $12 for a dvr. we had a 2 tv dvr (watch one a record on the other at the same time also handy for recording shows when we were sleeping) in are last truck and it was $12.95 a month for all the ch we had at home (not local)
