I have a wineguard G2 carry out that I'm using for the first time. It was my understanding it was mostly plug and play, not so. I have traveled from Va to Fla and tried to call and get my programming...
Here's what I read on Amazon reviews and questions.
You have to have it powered with 12 DC and if you're on Direct TV, you need a converter for the swm (whatever that is). Maybe that's the converter from 110 volts to 12 volts.
Here's something else I found: Just to kind of clear it up, out of the box the G2 Carryout will work with the following DirecTV receiver models: H-24 HR-24 H-23 HR-23 H-22 HR-22 H-21 HR-21 H-20 HR-20 D-12 D-11 D-10 R-15 R-16 R-22
