Be sure to READ and follow the setup for the wineguard portable satelite. Once you do that it is relatvely easy to turn and locate a signal. If you purchase this with the Dish receiver know that you need to have Dish program the receiver or know someone with Dish. We learned the difficult way, be prepared to pay extra for Dish to come out and set you up. Great little device.

This antenna is easliy set up. This unit can be used with up to 200' of cable which you can't do with an auto unit. On Direct TV you can patch the audio beep from the setup signal strength meter in your TV to external speakers of your CD player in your camper so you can hear the beep outside. Then you can find a great signal strength within seconds. It works every time. Remember you must always have a clear view to the sky. This unit is very compact but be careful with side elevation set screws because during packing they could be damaged. Excellent unit for camping, tailgating, etc. It only uses one cable. The auto units are nice but require one coax cable and one power cable. Then you are limited on distance.

I just purchased the Winegard Carryout and was a bit skeptical, especially after reading some of the issues others had in finding satellites with the unit. All that I can say, is they must not have known what they were doing or there was an obstical. I was amazed at how easily it was to find a satellite. I did not even need my satellite finder. All that I did was set the elevation and azimuth to what my reciever told me to. I sat a compass on the dish and rotated it until it was exactly the 166 degrees azimuth. When I went inside and looked at my TV, I had max single for that area, which was 55. I filled the base up with water, put it on top of the RV so that it was out of the way, and had a great weekend watching tv at our site.

Fairly easy to set up & use. Works great. Recommend getting the satellite signal meter. Makes aiming a lot easier. The more you use it, the less time setup takes.

I purchased this item mid July and had a chance to use it a few times this summer. I was really amazed by how simple it is to setup and how easy it was to find a satellite. I had had a portable antenna before but gave up trying to find the satellite. I'm very impressed and delighted with this item.

A Great Little Unit

September 26, 2012

Purchased this about a year ago but did not get a receiver until a few months ago. It is very easy to set up. Especially on the tripod that was thrown in for free. It took me about 45 minutes to set up the first time. After that it takes more time to hook up the cable than to get the satellite connection. A good compass helps but the one with the unit has worked just fine. Bubble in the level disappears in extreme heat but it is really not needed. Last time I hooked it up I moved it to the right direction then elevated until I got a signal. This is so easy.

My Dish!!!

September 26, 2012

I bought this a couple years ago for tailgating... Couldn't get it to work in the parking lot, but that was because we were behind a blind of trees duh!...Dug it out to go camping a couple weeks ago, set it on the ground, filled it with water, hooked up the meter, set it to the elevation, set it close to the azimuth, turned it a little and BINGO! Who needs an automatic antenna when it's this easy! The best part is that it's compact and durable. I just throw it in the pickup with all my other junk and nothing gets bent or broken. To heck with hi-def.. This is my dish from now on!

Good little dish for the price and works great just be sure to level the unit before you try to point it to the satellite you want, i suggest you purchase the tripod that is avilable on camping world web site also get a better compass cause the one that comes with the unit is not good or buy a signal meter .

I purchased the MP! before an extended trailer trip. We live in the Southern California and are currently in the Detroit area. The dish works perfectly. We have Directv mobile plan. I've learned as the says to have the base as level as possible. With practice I can set up in 10 minutes. I get the best signal I can with a satelite finder, then use the satillite strength meters for fine tuning. I also recommend buying the base for the unit, I use a piece of plywood cut to the case size and with the supplied bungee and some sand bags have had no problems with wind. On a 1-10 scale, 9.885.

We bought this as we r in a class b + with no spare room and didn't want to put another hole in the roof. Perfect size works super well..we just have a 17 tv so Hd no big deal. The key to this is to set it up at home first, get it level, point in same direction as ur home receiver and be patient. Once u get the signal put marks on the elevation and the compass. Then no matter where u go all u have to do is get it level and match ur marks. I have done it several times already and within five minutes I am watching tv and I am just a girl. Both the level and the compass worked fine for us. If u don't have any patience better buy the auto finder.

Nice Low Budget System

I purchased this satellite system a few months ago and have used it a couple of times. Bought this unit due to the price and that it has a compatct storage case. Only use it when our campsite does not offer cable. The set up is fairly quick and easy. The reception is as good as my HD satellite at my home. This unit made sence because I knew I was only going to use it a few times per year and could not justiy spending several hundred $$ for the auto system. I would recommend that you purchase the satellite finder that camping world sells. I also purchased the tripod which keeps the satellite off of the ground, very handy. I would not hesitate to make the purchase again.

Can be a challenge

First, this is the only receiver I have any experience with so I can't compare. Also, DISH is the only network I've dealt with so ditto there, too. With those facts in mind, when it is correctly set up it works just fine in my opinion. It can be a challenge to get it pointed in the right direction and I have spent several hours (all told) in several locations speaking w/ DISH personnel who have been incredibly helpful and patient. Kudos to DISH! I agree w/ those who suggest getting some type of bar level. I use an 8 inch w/ two bubbles. Works fine. The bubble disappeared in the one which came with it! The little compass works, but it wouldn't hurt to have a larger one w/ more increments cause you have to use it to sort of eyeball the direction you point the dish and that I believe causes most of the problems. The dish is small and needs a certain amount of precision in aiming it. Once you get a hit it's easier to fine tune the direction, but getting that first signal hit can be a bit time consuming. DISH actually has a signal tune in page on its menu so you can use it to fine tune and/or hook up one of the little screamer tuning gadgets at the dish. Like I said, when you do get it tuned in It's really quite good. One thing I hadn't counted on is the fact that DISH has all the local network stations (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, etc.) on one satellite and all the entertainment channels (HGTV, FOOD, History, etc.) on another. If you tune in the latter, no local news or weather. If you tune in the former, no premium channels. You have to reset the dish to the other satellite to get the other programming. With the effort involved in finding any signal the first time, I've never moved it afterwards! The larger dishes receive two or three signals, but in a 24' C-class the MP1 meets the storage problem much better. So, 4 stars for its size and the fact that it works well after it's set up. Unfortunately, its size is what makes it hard to set up. It's a trade off.

Works great if you aren't in a place surrounded by 100' pine trees. Had some problems getting a signal the first time but now that I know what I am doing I hope it goes smoother when I get out of these woods.
