    I think I know the answer to this question. Is the Pathway model the only option for Satellite reception?

    Staying put for a season? Many RV Parks are 35plus miles from TV towers. Many built-in RV antennas cannot handle fringe locations.I bought a compact home antenna with a 70plus mile range and sectional antenna mast, and hardware to non-destructively attach the mast to my RV's rear bumper. I connect the home antenna with RG6 to to the RV's cable port and turn off the built-in antenna's amplifier. I literally get dozens more stations and my total cost was under $80. It takes about 30-45 minutes to erect and aim or dismantle and store. I've got several other people in the park considering doing the same thing.

    RF transmission from TV Towers is still directional and can be fine tuned by turning the antenna. Many stations moved to UHF frequencies which require the Wingman add on to the old batwing antennas which is tuned to UHF frequencies.

    This is a great video, but a couple he didn't give the name of the company manufacturing the antenna. Would have been nice to have, maybe.
