The Carryout is a great solution for portable satellite service. We are using it for our 5th wheel RV. Instead of setting up a pole and manually aiming a Dish 500, I connect the 12v cable and the coax cable, set it on the ground in a resonably level spot,and the carryout does the rest. It will only look at 1 satellite at a time, so is really only suited for a single receiver box. We use Dish network, and on initially getting it out of the box, I had to set a dip switch inside the dome for Dish network. It will automatically find the satellites at 110, 119, and 129 locations. This means it is also suited for HD service from Dish network. When changing channels that requires a different satellite, it only takes about 5 seconds to make the switch.
It saves a lot of time in setup, and saves some storage space as well. Works great, and I highly recommend it.

This dish works great. Just plug it in and boom!!! you get all of your satellite signals with no hassel. When you change from one satellite to the other it is seamless. I do however have a slight problem with the power cord not making a good connection. Most everytime I connect the power cord I have to wiggle the connector to get a connection. It is not a big problem and the satellite dish has worked everytime. Set up is easy and quick. I would recommend this product to all of my friends!!!

The first trip with the Carryout made me a believer. Just follow the instructions to the tee and in about 10 minutes you are watching your satellite TV. Seamlessly switches between satellites as you change channels with only about a second of delay.
Even in a marginal area I was able to get it to tune in with just a couple of position changes.
I really love this thing!!
If you're tired of yelling to your wife, "Do I have a signal yet?" and seemingly twist and turn the dish for hours to get a good signal this is worth saving your money for. Place it, connect it turn on the receiver, power up the unit and do a switch test. Within 10 minutes your inside watching TV.

Love it
We bought this for tailgating and I love it. Used to haul a dish out there and was a pain to find the satellite every time - works as advertised.

Great, except for one flaw
This is great for the RV'er. If there is something in the way (another RV, a tree, whatever) all you need to do is move the dish. Just plug it in and let it do its' work. Read more
