We replaced our Pathway X2 with the roof mounted RF Mogul system. The RF Mogul system does a really good job. Only issue with a roof mount system is being under trees in some places.

Since I have Directv at home the added monthly cost for a recorder / receiver on my fifth wheel trailer with a HD Traveler DirecTV SWM SK-SWM3 Slimline installed satellite and my boat has a SD Quest Pro VQ4800 portable satellite is minimal. It offers a wide selection of channels with movies and sports. I have used portable satellite antenna but Directv is only SD while Dish Tailgate is HD.

The motorhome has an istalled Wingard T4 in motion satellite antenna that receives HD Dish and SD Directv. Dish cost $80 per month with limited channels. Eventally, I plan to swapout the Dish receiver for Directv.

Neither. We use antenna TV. We usually get 40+ channels and use $35 dvr with storage in areas where there is no reception. Of course you have to record some shows beforehand ed

Dish Outdoors, portable antenna and a Wally. No surfing to find something to watch I get a guild where ever I am. Change location on the phone with the Dish app and I can get local news and weather.

Used a portable Dish Tailgator (HD) and Directv King Quest (SD) on my fifth wheel trailer for many years. Now I have a Winegard Traveler with HD Directv receiver on my fifth wheel trailer and Winegard In motion Dish/Directv satellite on my motorhome with HD Dish receiver.

Neither. There is very little worth watching on them. Sling and Youtube.
