I am looking for the best way to go in the tv route. I want satellite but what does everyone prefer? I like the "dome" and how does it stack up to the crank up satellite or the "cube" or the one that sits on top of the coach and then there is the tripod next to the coach. Where to start? Any input from the Barthers will be appreciated.....gorman

ps. I have satellite at my home and the receiver is cheap to add one for an rv.

I have the dome, for 2 reasons:

1. Storage for a tripod/dish is nonexistent

2. I got the dome very, very, cheap from a friend who bought it for his 5th wheel, then left it in the box because he bought another 5th wheel with a satellite already installed.

If you have room on top, a dome is the way to go; the crank-up dishes are exposed to the weather, and the portables take up room. The cube might be a good compromise, but I don't know what its performance is like.
