We have a roof mounted Wineguard Travelr and carry a 3 LNB dish for when we get under the tree's. Gives all the HD we normally watch. Our OTA batwing works good for the locals.

When I was doing this I did the ame as above except I used a TWO port HEAD. This allowed me to run a RG cable to both of the TV locations and watch separate channels. This requires two SAT RCVRs brought along with you.

I would also run the VIDEO OUTPUT of the SAT RCVR to the video input of each TV set. Once setup you can select SAT TV or CABLE/OTA TV by using your remote control.

Worked great for us but after the NATL BROADCAST came out with there digital HDTV we stopped bringing along the SAT RCVR stuff with. Using the OTA BATWING Antenna picked up 6-36 digital High Def TV from the local towns just about everywhere we went here on the east side of the USA. Using the OTA BATWING Antenna keeps us from worrying about someone running off with our SAT DISH.

HIGH DEF HDTV for free is much better viewing than the SAt TV was giving us. We mostly like to watch the national broadcast local channels anyway. Occasionally we will downstream a cable TV station on the internet if we really want to watch something on it.

OTA BATWING antenna works great for us watching NCIS and HAWAII 5-O and local town RADAR weather conditions when camping off the power grid... What more do you want to watch haha...

We are away from home several weeks each month so have a dedicated receiver for the RV. I use a single LNB Winegard folding dish that sits on the ground. It is rarely affected by wind but may require extra coax to find a suitable location. When folded it hangs vertical in a storage compartment taking up very little space.

What are you guys doing when you take your receiver on the road. I have dish Network.

If you want just the basic (regular) programming, find an old single LNB dish, (mount on a good tripod that the wind won't blow away) at a garage sale, and connect it. If you want what you got at home, then match your home dish. Or buy an automatic portable or roof mounted dome. Or spend big bucks, drive it in and tell'm to fix it ! :)
