Dish Hopper 3 self-setup

[Breakfast97]

This question has probably been asked a million times but I just need to make sure I get the components right and the Pay-As-You-Go right. Here's my List:

1. I need the proper dish and LNB for Eastern Arc.
2. Hopefully I can get a Hopper 3 and get it working with the Dish and LNB and activated.
3. What extras do I need? I may add a Wally that I already own or ViP 211k later down the road.
4. This would all be on a pay as you go account. Are there any disadvantages to this? Say I let my programming expire for a few months, what happens when you try to turn it back on?
5. Any other helpful info before I take this plunge would be greatly appreciated.

As a final FYI, this will be a portable type setup to be used at home and on the road.

A big thank you to everyone.

Breakfast97, for your home set up, a technician would be require for your initial set up. They will install your Hopper 3 receiver, provide the dish and run cabling, and align the dish for the best signal strength. You would be able to add a purchased Wally or VIP211 receiver to your home account that you are able to turn on when in use on the road or turn off when you are not on the road. For your set up while on the road, it would require a portable dish, the Wally/VIP 211, and cabling.
