for TV we currently rely on a WineGuard RoadStar 2000 its "good enough", if youre w/in 35 or 50 miles of a broadcast antenna it works damn good (and i dont have to worry about lowering it).

it gets great HiDef (over the air) and our flat screens (inside the coach) dont require any D/A conversion.

our "basement" TV is the original Sony (analog) Tube...its a great tv, lots of contrast so you can watch it in bright sunlight (ive found some flat screens arent bright enough for outdoors). the basement Sony requires a D/A converter...I had to modify the outside tv/trim a little to place the D/A converter in the trim panel - but it was easy enough & it works well (even gives you program info and forward looking program schedules).

we TRY not to watch too much TV when camping....the whole idea is to get away from it all (or as much as you can in a luxury coach ....so we find that the OVER THE AIR antenna & local (HD Tv) gives us plenty of insight to the weather & local news.
