tv help quick
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...

I use a G2 with 2 HD DVR Receivers. One is an HR24-100 the other is a HR21-700.
You do have to go to the receiver menu and change settings.
Below is my "Cheat sheet" for setup in the MH.
Reverse these settings when you get back home.
