As for cable length, I have a Pathways II. I tried running 50 foot of cable thru the convenience center - no go. I traced down the inside cable in the trailer, and from the outside hookup it runs up to the attic, I think it was (maybe basement). Then the full length of the trailer to near the back wall. Then into the slide and forward another 6 feet, and finally up the wall about 4 feet. I estimated this to be something like30-35 feet. So adding in the outside 50 ft cable I didn't get any or much of a signal. I also put a connection thru the side of the slide directly to the TV. Now 50 ft cable outside works. Also, you really need 50 feet probably 1/3 - 1/2 the time. Trees one direction, so run all the way to the front opposite side, etc etc.
