Division. "We feel this alone gives our antenna a leg up over any other satellite TV antenna in the Canadian market."

The TRAV'LER Star Choice antenna uses a .75m reflector, which means programming can be received from virtually anywhere.

Unlike dome satellite antennas that only view one satellite at a time, Winegard TRAV'LER antennas are designed to receive programming from multiple satellites at the same time, with no extra switches or converters required. Viewers are provided with the most comprehensive TV viewing experience available in today's market. Everyone in the family is free to enjoy their favorite program on any TV in the RV - even if the programs are on different satellites.

The TRAV'LER Star Choice antenna is extremely user-friendly - eliminating the frustration of accessing satellite provider settings, complicated check switches and interface controllers. In fact, viewers can power the system on with the touch of one button to begin the automatic satellite search and to lock on both satellites simultaneously.

Built on a completely reengineered mechanical platform, the TRAV'LER antenna's stable base provides uninterrupted signal acquisition - even during strong winds. Because the reflector is locked on both satellites at all times, there is no need to toggle between satellites to watch programs located on separate satellites. The TRAV'LER antennas support multiple receiver configurations, including DVRs.

The TRAV'LER Star Choice antenna ships in two packages - a model SK-7002 mount and a model SKA-722 reflector and LNB arm. The TRAV'LER Star Choice antenna receives programming simultaneously from KU-band satellites 107º and 111º for complete standard and HD programming coverage. Built for stationary use only, the TRAV'LER Star Choice antenna is 48" L x 38" W, weighs 54 lbs, tolerates a roof slope of +/- 5° and conveniently stows to a low travel height of 11.75".

"Star Choice customers now have an extremely simple, stable and user-friendly automated system so they can enjoy their favourite programs anywhere their travels take them," said Jim Cummins, Vice President National Operations. "We are very excited to partner with Winegard on the TRAV'LER, and look forward to further product launches related to providing Star Choice customers with ease of accessibility."
