Ten miles from home you will get your locals, no problem.

The only satellite you need to worry about with a D12 receiver is the 101, all SD programming comes from that satellite. You can receive that using the 18" round dish.

As to aiming the dish, start out at your house, in your yard or driveway where you can practice. You can get aiming information at www.dishpointer.com Once you are comfortable with it, it is very easy and easily repeated.
A D12 with an 18" round is going to be easiest and most cost effective. If you want to sometimes use it at home on your home install that will have HD at home (but not on the road) you can use an H24 (H25s and higher need the SWM setup...so they will not work with the 18" round).

TL;DR
A D12 or H24 (or H23/22/21/20) with an 18" round dish is your best bet. I'd recommend the D12 or H24 because those are quite small.
