Winegard combination Satellite and TV

Has anyone had in experience with the Winegard combination Satellite and TV
antenna. The model number is RM-DM61. This is the roof mount, crank up
antenna with "digital magic" elevation sensor.

Thanks

Don,
I have an older version of it that is going to be coming off. Airstream does not reccomend mounting a dish to the top, apparently the wind tugging on the dish causes the mount to vibrate and leak. Another issue is that you always have to park away from the trees or only park a certain way to be able to get a clear shot at the "bird".

Also keep in mind that unless there are no trees at the campsite, you maybe jockying the rv around to get a clear shot at the sat.

Which is EXACTLY what kept me from buying one.
