I borrowed my parents tailgater on a trip to see if i wanted to purchase one myself. It didn't work worth a ****. If i direct cabled it, i was fine. If i ran it through my trailer Sat wiring, it would be flaky. It appears that my trailer wiring would need to be replaced if i went with the route of buying one.
I have a Winegard Pathway X2, and while I love it, I bet you would have the same problem if you had an X2.
All of these portable antennas pretty much need a direct connection to the receiver box. I've tried hooking mine up to my 'sat in' connection and it doesn't work very well. Any splitters or switches will disrupt the signal.
One solution is to install a new outside receptacle near the living room location and then running a short interior line from the backside of the receptacle to the receiver box. You could probably do the same if you have a bedroom TV, assuming the sat antenna has 2 cable outputs (which the X2 does).
