    it works great, even through trees. The Winegard Customer Service is the reason I'm giving it 5 stars .. I had a problem with one near the end of the warranty period. Winegard replaced it with a new one. no questions asked.

    Arrived in a timely manner, set the unit up on the drive way, found the signal within 5 - 8 minutes. I wish the cables were 100' long rather than 50'. Looking forward to using the unit next camping season.

    Good Purchase

    We bought this portable antenna to use tailgating. We have a Winegard in-motion unit on our RV and have been very happy for four years. The carryout is great when we have our SUV or want to add another TV for sports etc. Very simple to use after a quick set-up. If you are familiar with DISH and do a Check Switch after you change your location the antenna locks on quickly. Plugs into cigarette lighter but get the 12v/110 converter for plugging into a generator or outlet for flexibility. We us the DISH 211HD receiver from Camping World also. They make a great pair with no issues. Since we bought our Carryout a number of tailgaters around us have also purchased this antenna because you can put on top of your car where it can't get bumped into and it is completely automatic so away with tripods, satellite finders, cussing and yelling at DISH. Lowered my blood pressure.

    Finally an easy antenna setup

    October 07, 2011
    This antenna does work as advertised. Initial setup took a few minutes but after that it is a hookup and forget it. Finding a open spot in the trees for reception takes longer than getting it working. I can move it a few feet and never lose reception.

    It was simple, changed the dip switches for Dish Network, plugged it in, went through a quick setup menu and I had TV, unlike trying to find a satellite and setting azimuth and elevations. Takes the work out of setting up at different sites.

    This Antenna is the simplest portable satellite antenna that I have used or seen. Once an account is set-up, plug it in to your satellite receiver & plug in the antenna, & watch what you want! IT'S GREAT! I will recommend this system to anyone looking for a portable satellite antenna unit!

    being to new to rv satelite this was my first (as well as the dish installer for my house) worked easily right out of the box , used ladder mount and have been enjoying trouble free for 6 months now, after reading stories online about finding and setting up was worried but this is hasslw free, plug it in , give a few to downlaod to recv, and your watching hd. Ordered dish for my house and added the 211 rcvr along with others in house and only costs extra 7 mo and just keep it in the rv.

    This item will not work if your camper is wired with antenna spliters to serve other TV's. Satellite has to be wired directly into the TV your watching. The unit does have two connectors for other TV's. Wish this was addressed in the advertisement.

    Thanks to Larry, who said that the extra cable was under the bottom piece of foam, I probably would have thrown it out also. I took it out camping and my son had it set up in a matter of minutes. We got crystal clear reception and never had the first bit of trouble with it. I am very satisfied and plan on taking it everywhere I go.

    False Advertising


    6 out of 18 people found this review helpful.
    July 22, 2011
    This product is not worth a dime. The advertising states it's automatic and can have you online in minutes. We purchased the antenna in May and had to have Direct TV come to align it and now we are on vacation in Ohio and it cannot find a signal. We are not in a remote area and in fact our rooftop antenna is picking up 14 digital channels. Calls to Windgard and Direct TV produced nothing as it is now our problem. Do not purchase this item if you want to watch TV. We are very disappointed that we purchased this item and cannot use it.

    Love this thing , bought it the end of 2010 have used it here at home and now in Redmond Washington, finds all three dish network satellites in about 5 minutes am using a 211K with a usb hard drive works great for dvr, I would suggest the ladder mount it comes with 50ft of both cables and a switch for inside mount to turn the antenna on and off works great

    Pretty slick (when it works)


    5 out of 9 people found this review helpful.
    July 13, 2011
    We've had the unit just over six months. It has taken the last two months, but ours finally completed its slow death spiral a few hours ago. Keep your receipt (we didn't) - the registration card you send in is useless as far as warranty work goes. When it worked, it was a cool unit. We have DishTV and the pay-as-you-go receiver. Usually found all the satellites within 15 minutes of set up. I can only recall a few times where we lost signal due to bad weather. Light in weight and easy to carry. Somewhat bulky to store, but we did find space in our 5th wheel. Our problem appears to be a bad power cable. Can't get another power cable without a copy of our original receipt. This is just one of many, many, many things we have bought in the last three years from the RV industry that doesn't work. I tired of being sold stuff by the RV industry that doesn't work.

    Great Satellite system

    July 02, 2011
    Bought this system a few months ago and am 100% pleased. Works great with Directv and the setup is so simple. Now I spend a few minutes , two at the most setting it up and getting it going. Can be watching TV in as little as five minutes. The only problem is that using it with Directv is that you can't get HD as you can with dish. Still a great item for the investment. Great time saver, frustration easier, and simple to use.

    This is a fantastic satellite. We are full timers and we set it out when we first get to the campsite. Within 5 minutes we have TV. We love the portable because trees don't interfere. It's so light weight and small it fits right in the front of our 5th Wheel. Several other RVers got one after seeing ours.

    Extremely Easy

    We have used our Carryout for a year. On our trip to Alaska, we ran out of coverage as we went north of the border from Montana but the coverage came back as we returned months later as we approached Washington State (no fault of the dish). Just set it out and it finds the Dish Satellites and the fun begins. We are using it at a beach house in South Texas as I write. HD anywhere! We are extremely happy with our dish.

    Winegard Carryout Satellite TV Antenna


    6 out of 9 people found this review helpful.
    February 25, 2011
    I bought the satellite June 2009 set it up at my house, worked great. Then went camping It took me at least an hour or more to set it up each time we stoped for a few days. Then at a campground in Texas a man asked me how I liked my Winegard I asked him if he would like to buy it, he said he had one and he works for a RV store in NE. He told me about electric wires and water pipes under ground that could interfere with the unit, told me to buy a tripod,which I did and at the next 10 stops in 6 different states, it took about 5 mins for me to start watching TV. I think Winegard and RV stores that sell this unit should tell their customers that it works best and gets locked in faster when using the Tripod. Take it from me they will all be HAPPY CAMPERS
