We are also looking into plans and receivers (for our Winegard RoadTrip Mission). Both are similar in that the receiver and services available depend on the model of dish you have. You can look that up on the KVH site (
http://www.kvh.com/Leisure/RV-Systems/Television.aspx). I know that Dish Network provides a nice plan which is Pay-As-You-Go, and I think was what you meant by a monthly plan. From what I've read, it doesn't appear that you'd need a KVH box, just a box compatible with your antenna and services (GPS/DVB, DVB, HD, Bell/Dish/DirecTV, etc)
