You will need to clarify what you are hoping to do and which service provider (Dish or DirecTV) you are using. How many receivers and what type are you wanting to use.
The Carryout is a fully automatic antenna. Works with DirecTV or Dish. The Anser is semi-automatic and works with Dish or DirecTV but is a single satellite antenna so service provider information is important. The newest antenna from Winegard is the Pathfinder X2 which is for Dish Network only and is fully automatic but the receivers that it works with is limited (VIP211K or Z are recommended).
