It was wonderful having a machine that found the satellite signal all by itself, but two design flaws led us to return the Carryout and get our money back. (1) it won't allow you to record 2 programs simultaneously on a 2-input DVR. (2) Coax cables have to pass through a window or door directly into the receiver inputs (not input into the side of the RV). We could have lived with the 2nd flaw, but the 1st flaw was a killer. This would be great for somebody with a simple receiver, or who can live with one channel at a time.

A heads up is not given that a `120 volt to dc voltage with a minimium of 5 amps is needed for connecting to a rv. This store does not carry the necessary converter, I had to find one at another establishment. The satellite performed just fine after changing the settings, as I was told to do. I think that the converter should come with the antenna.

This product is great. It works has it states. My wife is really happy, no more yelling back and forth. It took longer the first time to find the satellite. Now it locks in very quickly. My only concern with this product is thief once word gets around about how great they are.

I puchased the Winegard Carryout a couple weeks ago and love it. It was simple to set up and use on our vacation. The only problem I did have was setting it up when I 1st purchased it. It says it comes from the factory set up for Direct TV but after a couple of hours and it not working I checked the settings on it to find out it was not set up for Direct TV. Once I reset it I had TV in less than 5 minutes.

I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because of the price. This is a very expensive "TOY", but does what it says it will do. I know I will hate it when the price drops in half or more, or they come out with an even smaller dish and lighter weight one. I used it for the first time this past weekend and was in a heavily wooded area. I still had to play around with it to get a signal because of all the trees. One thing to note though, is to make sure you have the coax connected and your receiver turned on. If you don't the dish will sit there and search endlessly for a signal. Kind of makes you wonder why it says fully automatic if you have to have a receiver plugged into it and turned on, but it needs this to find the satellites. We are occasional campers, but it will still save me time when setting up. The only other thing I was worried about was it getting stolen. Most people don't know that it is a very expensive piece of metal and plastic, but once people figure this out, it could be an easy target for being stolen. I am thinking about a chain and lock to deter those who might think about helping themselves to it.

I followed the instructions for installation, changed the codes, and the satellites were in operation within five minutes max.

The reason for the low star rating will be described in the following description. We really were so excited to get the Wiengard Carryout Automatic Portable Satellite TV Antenna, however, even though we set it up according to directions, we get all 3 satellites, we are not getting all of our stations. We've tried several times from the beginning of setup and come up with the same results. We contacted Winegard Customer service 3 times to only get an answering machine directing to leave your name and number and someone will get back to you. 5 days later, going on a trip without it working properly we have still not received a call from them. Very, very disappointed with the customer service from Winegard, not necessarily the product as the product is very lightweight and easy to set up and use.

Used my carryout this weekend for the first this weekend. very easy to set up and was on the sat in about 1min. Easy to take down and store when we got ready to leave. Just what I was looking for, a great product.

We are fulltimers! and bought this because of having a crappy tripod that is a pain in the butt to set up.. well needless to say we brought it home and boom within 2 minutes it was up and running! i have a dvr receiver and it runs both lines coming in! this thing is the best! Light weight that my 6 yr old can carry it! Next thing i need to buy is the ladder mount..... We loved the free tripod it came with! This is worth every penny! makes my life so simple!

We bought the carryout with the free shipping and the free tripod what a great deal. I assembled the ladder bracket which we also bought with the carryout. It all works great It was no time at all we were watching Dish Tv in our RV.

After spending over a year without TV and watching many of my RV-ing neighbors struggle to point their sat antennas, I finally decided to make the commitment. I have no regrets. This product does exactly what it's advertised to do. It's light, requires only a screw driver to attach the handle, and is so quiet I originally thought it was not working. The only drawback (and reason for not getting 5 stars) in my opinion is that there doesn't seem to be any way to secure the unit from theft. And, I am sad that I bought the unit before the tripods were included free of extra charge. I highly recommend this product.

Had very good luck with this Antenna, Did what the manual said and was watching tv in about three minutes.

Let me say at the out set that I'd buy this thing again in a heart beat as once setup it's wonderful. There is a however, however. The directions mention a sw64. I was told by three techs at Dish that the sw64 is out dated, it was separate hard ware, that is used to be built in, that it was soft ware, you get the picture. Then I got ahold of the fourth guy and he told me all I had to do when switching from my house to the RV was make sure I was on 119 and run a test switch, and that the proper switch would automatically be installed. That was it. No problems since. It works great.

Although HD is not available, this is a great addition to our trailer. I added a 12 volt plug near the front and set it up for a trial run. I plugged in the receiver and dish and heard it make its sounds. I watched and listened for a few seconds, then went inside to see what the TV would show. It was already downloading info! From plug in to entering a channel to watch was about 3 1/2 minutes. I too share the concern about only being able to watch one satellite at a time when hooked up to two receivers, but face it...we are camping after all.

The Winegard Carryout Satellite.Antenna will support two recievers. However, the fall down or what is somewhat misleading about the product is that it will see only one Satellite at a time. Such as, if you are receiving your signal from Satillite 119, you can only watch those channels that come on that Satillite. For example, if you want to watch Satillite 110 on one TV and your children want to watch Satillite 119 from another TV it's not going to work. Believe me I spent all weekend trying to make this happen, We took the product back for a refund.

Love it , Love it, Love it. Hooked the Winegard up, went in the camper and watched Direct TV. Kept it simple.

I removed the carryout from the box on my last camping trip set it on the slideout roof connected the cables to the 12volt house battery and to the cable connection on the side of the trailer went inside the trailer and connected the receiver to the tv and was watching my Direct tv in less then 5 minutes. No more hunting for the sattelite with my old manual dish. Thank you Winegard

Even though this is a bit pricey it is well worth the money. After dealing with a standard dish this is a breeze. Quick and easy setup. Being a low profile unit it can withstand wind. We were in a thunderstorm with sustained winds of at least 70mph, it never moved and we never lost signal. Great Product!

I love it. I have Dish HD and it picks up the three satellites that is necessary. I set it out, go inside and go to satellite setup and in five minutes I'm watching TV, not out pounding stakes and messing with a compass. I am a contractor and spend a lot of time on the road. When I get ready to move I go out and pick it up and put it in the RV. I would recommend it to anyone who wants an automatic dish but doesn't want to pay the price of a roof mounted one.

The Winegard Carryout Automatic Portable Satellite TV Antenna is super great. It so simple to set up and use. There is no hassle whatsoever in settting it up. It locates the satellite in a minute or less. It is the ideal anwser to meet my need. I have had it two weeks and am very happy with it.

Fed up with trying to find satellites with a meter and compass, my wife and I took a long ride this past weekend to buy this dish. Once it was set-up (a matter of 15 minutes or so), I plugged her in and instantly had a beautiful picture. All the channels came in perfectly. As we camp at least one long weekend a month, this product is going to be an awesome addition to our camping ware. No more searching, no more frustration, no more worries! Thank you!!!
