    Not worth the lower cost

    This dish is in my view total worthless. My signal was constantly fading in and out. As other's have stated, if you do not have patience this dish is not for you.

    Setup was a breeze once I figured out I had to change the spcs of the dish (duh my fault). However, I'm not really that happy with the signal. It seems the minute any clouds come in or the least little bit of rain, it interferes with the signal, argh. Constantly outside trying to find signal.

    Perfect little dish! Skip the Automatic one!

    March 08, 2012
    This thing is great! It is very easy to setup when you have the *right* tool! I started out 2 days ago trying to set it up with my dish pointer software on the phone, but no signal meter. It turns out, that wasn't too smart. The phone only got me pointed in the right direction, but I was still marginally off to the point where it was just getting frustrating. I gave up after about a little over an hour and went inside defeated. I was thinking I was going to have to return this thing and shell out the extra $500 to get the automatic dish. Not wanting to give up so easily, I ordered the Triplett 3275 SatAlign 2. I had used one of the cheaper ones in the past and thought I'd pony up a little for a nicer one. Fast forward to this evening... I prealigned the dish inside to 39 degrees. I knew about where it needed to be pointed based on my work 2 nights prior, but that was all. I plugged in the cable from the receiver into the alignment tool and within 2 1/2 minutes I was fully locked in with a perfect signal. I went in the house and sure enough all of my readings were above 80. I couldn't have been a happier camper! :) Finally, to all of you ragging on the tools provided (level / compass), they work just fine! Make sure you slide them out of their holding spots to actually use them. I too the compass out and it worked perfectly for what I needed. Slide out the level and put it in the bottom of the case to see if it is level. It worked great. If you are on the fence between the automatic one and this one, buy the MP1. You won't be disappointed.

    89% Easy To Use

    Nice little unit, but not worth 5 stars. Maybe 3.8 would be more accurate. I think this model was designed to have the end user take it back, and purchase the more expensive automatic models. If you do not have at least a little patience, don't buy this model. A couple of things to do for easier set up; Get your self a good compass, and a foot long level. The compass and leveling tool that come with the unit are pure junk. Actually worse than junk. Also purchase yourself a Satellight Finder meter. This meter will save you some set up time. Another purchase I would recommend are 4 of those rubber, wedge door stops for unit leveling purposes. I also added sand as added stabilizing weight, instead of water. Takes me about 10-15 minutes now to be up and running, watching my TV.

    Works great on the road

    I had a dish on the roof or my travel trailer for years. Under trees I got no signal for my Direct TV. This unit works great once you get the hang of it. It can be set up 100 feet from the trailer and out from under the trees. Pay no attention to the level. Get a good Compass, the one that comes installed on the unit does not work there. Get a signal meter and have at it. I have used mine up and down the Delmarva Peninsula, in Pa. and in Florida.

    Great Buy and Soooo Easy to Set-up

    September 28, 2011
    Just got this little unit this week and it worked like a charm on the first try! I was very impressed with both the ease of use and the very affordable cost. I received a crystal clear picture all weekend long at my campsite. I just followed the included instructions and without any additional equipment or satellite finders, I was able to connect in about 5 mins. time. I just grabbed an extra Directv box off my spare TV in my office and used the tone to help zero-in on the satellite by manually moving the dish. Love it and would definitely recommend !!!

    Purchased the MP1 ,We have used it from Fla. to Utah and works great. The compass is not very good, so plan on buying one. I have the tripod unit to go with sat. The tripod legs could have been designed better for easier set up. I drilled holes out .010 and now work easier. I use a 1 gal. plastic milk bottle filled with water and hang it on the tripod for stability, it has never moved using this method. I have recommended to others.

    A lot of trees--pines--in NC. Coach Wineguard auto great when there's a shot, but not any use in trees. Portable works great. With an App called SatFinder, it took me about three minutes to set up first time. Worked great on all SW 64 Switch channels. Couldn't get more then around 30 on signal strength, but only get around 50 at home. Works great!

    MP 1 portable antenna

    The MP1 is working great for us. We are on the road and using it in many places. It took me awhile to get where I could set it up but now it doesn't take long at all. As everyone says, read and follow the directions! Also learn to set it up at home! Also buy a satellite finder. I found one for $40.00 and it really helps. Make setting it up only minutes. We really like ours. It doesn't take up much room and easy to store and carry. Thanks KC

    As other buyers of this Satellite Antenna I too advise future buyers to practice setting it up at home before hitting the road. Once you get the setup principle worked out it is actually pretty easy but a good satellite finder meter is very helpful. The compasses provided with the system are worthless. Get decent replacements

    Spend the extra money and get the automatic version

    Where to start... you will need to buy additional items to make this work. The buble level was pointless, it had no water in it. It is a pain to get it to find a satellite, you constantly have to adjust it. We returned it and bought the roof mount automatic system. I prefer to press a button as opposed to spending a couple of hours setting this thing up.

    needs a little reinforcement

    Once you get the Antenna set up, the picture is great. The problem comes when there is a breeze - well, here the wind blows. We had a difficult time keeping the Antenna on the correct setting because of the wind. I will build a stand that will make it steadier, not use the water but attach the antenna part to the stand. Hopefully that will get rid of the problems we had on the first try.

    The first setup took a while - I have never done this before. It looks like I am getting the hang of it and this should be a welcome addition to our RV experience. Especially since we will be in a remote area for a bit.

    Easy to store and set up. The problem I have with mine is the satellite service. Ordered Dish Network as it was quick and I was leaving to go out of town. In order to get full service from Dish Network the signal is sent from different sattelites therefore to get full service you may have to reaim to satellite carring the program you want to see. I ordered top 200 channels and had some missing then i tried upgrading to top 250 only to find more missing channels. It is my understanding that Direct TV carries almost all of their channels off of one satellite. The ones you will not get will be mostly relgious channels. You can still get them but must reaim dish. I am going to Direct TV asap. Most reviews show they appear to be better for this application.

    Well worth it

    Bought this for our Class B RoadTrek because it takes so little spacein storage. Tried it at home first and took about 20 minutes to get a signal. At the last campground only took about 5 minutes to find the Dish Network satellite. The only drawbacks I can find is the elevation scale is a little hard to read and the compass is hard to use. I recommend a regular map compass instead amd I'm going to mark the elevation scale with white paint every 10 degrees. Oh, and the bubble level gave up in the heat at Phoenix. Even with these few drawbacks, the system works well. Sometimes I only get 25% to 30% signal but the tv reception is still great. I also have the Dish Network Pay-as-You-Go service which allows you to pay for only the months you need the service. A great idea. I would recommend both to fellow travelers.

    Not worth the trouble

    Purchased this unit about a year ago because of the price. Would not be using it much so didn't want to spend a lot of money. In the 6-10 times I have tried it I have been succesful only once. After reading the reviews I wonder if it is defective because I can only get signals from a few transponders and only the one time could I get a signal more than 50%. 50% brings in no stations!I think I will buy the automatic carryout.
