Smitty77_7 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 In earlier threads, I mentioned we are setting up our coach TV for both a new Satellite and OTA. Winegard Rayzar Automatic RZ-8500 is the OTA I'm now considering. I've tried searches here and on Google, and found very little info/reviews on how it performs in the real world. http://www.winegard.com/rayzarauto Does anyone know of how they seem to work? Or are they too new to the market place? I like the low profile for lack of shadows potential impacting the Solar Panels. I currently have the older Winegard RSxxxx that looks like the Star Trek Enterprise, and would mount the RZ-8500 in this same location. I do still plan on adding a Winegard manual crank mast to the roof, but that would be to mount A/B WiFi antennas (A = WiFi Ranger Omni Billet with the new antenna mast to replace the 3dBi OEM antenna. And B = Yagi 14 dBi antenna for times that Omni is not able to pull in a distant signal.) I have one location on the roof that the raised mast should not shade the Solar Panel except in extreme low sun angles. So I could add a manually aimed antenna for OTA TV viewing. But I like the automatic feature for the DW, who is adept at electronics as I am at waltzing!!! Opinions on the RZ-8500 appreciated. TIA, and best to all, Smitty Be safe, have fun, Smitty 04 CC Allure "RooII" - Our "E" ride for life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
