Given the advancements that occur daily with electronics I would like input from recent purchasers of a portable Sat antenna. I am currently leaning towards a Winegard Anser but after using a manual antenna for years I am wondering if having to set the azimuth is consistent on this antenna. Should I purchase an Anser, a Carry-Out or another brand? All answers will be appreciated. My primary requirements are easy set-up and low price. Nothing could spoil my day more than having the manual dish fight me after a long day behind the wheel.Randy

I use this portable WINEGARD SAT DISH I picked up from a local RV dealer tore which has two ports on the SAT head. This is tethered to my truck bed which is where I set it up when at the camp site.I have two runs of RG cable coiled up around the portable dish and a TONE TYPE SAT FINDER inserted in one of the RG cables. One RG cable goes to the SAT RCVR in the Living room and the econd RG cable goes to the SAT RCVR in the bedroom area. This is for standard SAT TV signals... Being tethered to the truck make me secure the portable dish inside the truck bed when I leave the camp ground for any reason. Makes it more safe thief wise. I don't have any problem setting this up using the settings from the SAT TV MENU for setting up round dishes.I have used this setup for several years but after the NATL TV came out with DIGITAL HDTV we get better TV coverage from the local towns using our crank-up BATWING antenna and don't bring along the SAT TV much anymore.Roy Ken

I think the ansur was updated to the Pathway X2? I have this system with two 211 receivers and it works great. Glad to ditch the tripod and 500 dish. The X2 locks on so easy. I set it up and go back inside knowing I will have TV in minutes.

Pathway X2 is for Dish according to all the literature I have seen.. We are DirecTV.Randy

X2 on the Pathway X2. I've had this system for about a year and a half and like it really well. Works much easier that when I had a manual antenna and set it up using either a tone finder or the TV menu.

Does anyone have any experience with the VueCube 2100? It is looking like the portable I might choose because there is only a coax running from the trailer to the antenna with the power source being inside by the receiver unlike some of the others that require 12 volts to the antenna.Randy
