Bad news Robert, it might be a few years then. More if camping counts as busy.

Hi: rbryan4... I don't think he'll ever be "Free", but he may be reasonably cheap. You can usually tell by a guys hair cut!!! Alf

I would have to say it stands for whatever you read into it.

Other options include:
o DVD player - very reliable, but I need DVDs (Red box or from home)
o WIFI into the DVD player - depends on campground WIFI or a cell phone hot spot that I don't have yet
o Campground cable - I would get the "TV Ready" option for this
o Jack antenna mounted on a mast
Disadvantages of the roof-mounted Jack antenna:
o It will force me to a 12' door instead of a 10' door if I get a garage.
o I haven't found anything that I want to watch over the air so far.

After having both the Winegard and Jack antennas on my prior Escapes, I went for the tv ready option. If there is cable at the cg I can watch it, other wise I use the built in dvd player. Since I have made this decision I have yet to use either.

Way I wished we had gone . We got the wineguard installed . Wasn't a Jack option then . We mostly if in a campground hook up to their cable tv and boondocking watched a DVD . Glad the hookups are installed . Pat

I'm not much on TV, but Gail is. We have a cable hook up I installed in our Parkliner we only used once, and that was for a weather report in a bad thunderstorm we were in. We don't even use the DVD much, probably because we are such inveterate readers. I suppose a cable hook up would be nice, but I don't need a TV antenna.
Without a TV antenna could I park a 5.0TA in a garage with a 10' door?
