    You're not trust me haha. Most of tv is crap these days. I only occasionally watch the news.
    I mean it would be worth it just to catch the reruns of Star Trek TNG or Married with Children.

    I have a Wineguard sat antenna with Dish programming. The antenna is mounted about 6 inches above the roof of the tractor. The outer casing of the antenna is very flexible and seems to be able to handle the occasional whack of a branch. Heard good things about the Wineguard.
    Heard a lot of bad things about the V cube. Not very durable.
    Terrestrial TV is very spotty. Especially with trucks moving nearby.

    The Walking Dead is by far the best thing going.

    It uses the same mount that a Qualcom uses. Same bolt pattern. Rubber mounted. When it stops working I take it off, look inside and all the parts are just rattling around. If you send it back it costs more to have it fixed then it does to buy a new one after the shipping costs.

    One thing I'm sort of enjoying not having my dish anymore is Green Acres, Gilligans Island, Brady Bunch, Happy Days and all those other B rated sitcoms.
