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...

Well, Mr. Wizard, let me tell you the difference, since you asked?
I already have the Winegard Trav'ler mounted on top of the MH. I'm looking for a portable antenna for those times when the campsite does not permit the use of the roof mounted antenna.
So....if I go with the X1 there would be one cable to connect into the coax connection for satellite already provided in the basement storage bay.
If I go with the G2, I would be required to either get a 12-volt to 110-volt converter (because I already have a 110-volt receptacle in the bay, but no 12-volt receptacle), or I could wire in a 12-volt plug in the bay and go that route.
Not a big deal to wire in a 12-volt plug and then use the two wires coming from the G2 antenna, but the one wire coming from the X1 would be "plug and play" based upon my current MH wiring.
Just something else to consider.
