Any particular brand? Where to purchase from?

Aiming an HD dish is no walk in the park

Make sure the box you take is a dedicated receiver and not a "genie client"
The power inserters for directv are on Amazon and other places. It inserts power into the coax line.
Their are signal strength meters that will display on TV once your box is plugged in but it is very tedious.

Much more difficult than that. Assuming you are using a tripod, and have no signal meter it will be very difficult the first time.
Do you know anybody who sets up where you do and uses a DirecTV setup?
Otherwise you are going to need a level to make absolutely sure the dish is level. Plus a compass or smartphone to know the right direction to point. Then you will need to fine adjust depending on your tripod setup.
Your first time expect to take at least an hour and possibly longer.
