Yep, like my Winegard Trav'ler. Turn it on, finish setting up and HDTV the same as home by the time I'm finished. Packing is just as easy, push the button and it's stowed. :D

My travel companion has an automatic Dish on top of his 5th wheel and just pushes the button....presto....all three satellites. I have 100 ft. of coax cable and just plug into his extra outside jack. When by myself set up my portable dish and can usually find the sat.s within 15 minutes. Key is making sure your stand is level before you start searching for the signal.

All of this fancy stuff I really do not turn on the tv to much unless it's cold or raining.

:-B You guys are worrying about TV, we are not there yet, we are worrying about the next turn, the next fuel stop with camper. The TV problem will come later, we leave SC Saturday, shopping done and hope to be in Morehead City NC by Sunday afternoon, the first big trip with unit, the fun begins.

We really like Morehead City. We usually stay at the Holiday Travel Park on the southern end of the Island. Very nice park. Go slow and have fun.
