All we have so far is the crank up hdtv antenna from winegard. HDTV Local Television Channels in Your RV - Winegard Sensar As noted by Don it is also "good enough" when we are near a city, and the signal is quite nice for being limited to broadcast tv. We have also been looking into a satellite, when we go to the Keys in December and January our campground in Marathon does not have cable, and the only on air channel we can pickup is a spanish language station out of Miami. So we spent a month watching a lot of dvd's last year. It get's dark at 5:00 that time of year, so tv in the evening keeps the entertainment budget down to concentrate on the great things you can do in the daytime there. We have not been able to talk to anybody with experience with either of the 2 satellite companies, and were also hoping for some input before plunking down cash on the equipment. I do know one of the satellite companies has a deal for Rv'ers where you can prepay by the month and turn it on and off as you like, which sounds like a good deal as we definitely don't want to be locked into a year round contract. Any experience out there?
