I imagine under the paint job your RF Mogul is a Slimline as is the LNB an SL3s. I guess they could have manufactured their own but that would be expensive and might violate DirecTV patents.
RF Mogul is the new name for the Motosat outfit. Slimline is the name of the the dish from Winegard. I doubt RF Mogul is repainting anything from Winegard, and not violating any DirecTV patents.
The input that I got was some of the better employees formed a new company when Monosat got a new CEO and both companies existed for a time. Eventually RF Mogul took over the Monosat repairs.
The RF Mogul design is completely different. My usage has been rock solid. They only support SWM for DTV and I believe that is also true for the other providers.
Field replaceable parts and firmware is another advantgate. I recently upgraded to version 1.59. I downloaded the file onto my camera card, inserted the card into the controller and rebooted. Later the vGPS module was moved, a few switches on the controller were changed at that time and this improved the signal level.
Not that we had any signal level issues. This summer we used the dish on the Alaskan Highway and Alaska with the vGPS in it's original position.
