How long of a coaxial cable can I use?
As a general rule, you do not want to exceed 50 feet of coaxial cable (including RV wiring) between the receiver and antenna, since power is being transferred as well. Any longer than 50 feet may result in a loss of signal quality, and in some cases complete signal loss.
Can I go through my RV wiring?
RV wiring varies from one to the next, so we cannot guarantee it will work by going through your RV wiring although many do. If you try to connect through RV wiring and do not receive a strong enough signal, try using a shorter coax cable between the antenna and RV. If all else fails, try a direct connection.

How do local channels work?

I have a Pathway X2, should I choose western or eastern arc during setup?

What kind of mounting options do i have for a truck?
For customers with the KING or DISH Tailgater or the Winegard X1 or G2, there are two options for mounting. One is a cab mount, which would permanently mount to the back of the cab, the other is a window mount, which hangs on the window and is a more flexible option for those who can’t make modifications to their truck or want that added option of taking it elsewhere.
