What is easiest and best way to access TV on the road?

We will be setting off on a cross country trip this spring and would like suggestions on the easiest set-up for watching TV. We have one of those wing-things that attaches to the roof aerial and it doesnt seem to do a thing. We are NON techies so we need something easy to set up. I am wondering about those movable satellite receivers- not the dish type. Hope someone can make some suggestions for us! Thank you!

    I use the wingman on my factory antenna. It made a huge improvement.
    Last week we showed 13 channels withing 45 miles, all came in good.
    It is important to get it aimed right.
    I use antennapoint.com put in the zipcode and it tells what stations there are, how far away, and what compass heading.
    Then just a handheld cheap compass and I'm good to go.
    If the stations are more like 60 miles, or you're in a valley, you probably won't get anything.
