Hello Outbumn,
I too am looking to update my antenna system. I now have a KVH 1, domed, stationary unit. It works very well. I had a King Dome on my old Holiday Rambler and it worked well also. I never had a "dew" fade problem with either. I could always get a good picture, signal strength above 60 (Direct TV), and it usually comes in about 85-89. My friend has an open dish, again Direct TV, and he gets about a 95 signal strength. He has to climb up on the roof and tie the open dish with bungies to prevent movement and intermedient signals in high wind conditions. I don't have that problem.
I am looking at the KVH 6 system, as well as others. I have recently updated my TV's to LCD HD and would like the HiDef programming available to us "on the road" travelers. I am attaching KVH's

** DIRECTV has recently placed Ka band satellites into service to provide high definition local channels to their home users in select markets. To enable this, DIRECTV is installing new, larger dishes for their subscribers to receive the Ka band content as well as the current Ku band high definition and standard definition programming. KVH and all mobile satellite antennas support Ku band reception only due to size constraints and other technical complexity. As a result KVH cannot support reception of Ka band high definition locals. For a complete and up-to-date listing of the available HDTV channels, click here.
