satellite dish and receiver
Hi....a newbie here. I want to purchase a portable satellite antenna and receiver for my new to me Winnie Sightseer. Looking at the Tailgater system as well as a Winegard. Have seen mixed reviews...

I have both a Winegard GM1518 portable (looks like an igloo)and I also have a standard DirecTV dish which requires pointing at the appropriate azimuth and elevation. The Winegard works excellently as long as there is a very clear wide open sky, if there is a good bit of tree canopy it cannot find the satellite. I just picked up the DirecTV dish recently so that in those situations I can still get satellite using the DirecTV. Usually if you can find a hole in the canopy you can aim and get a signal. The wife and I are both big TV nuts and though we can get by without it it does make one cranky in the morning not to have the news with coffee.
