Winegard Playmaker

I purchased a Playmaker in September of 2018. Before 30 days were up it started making a very bad grinding noise and would not work. I called customer service and was sent a new one and sent the old one back. Now this one is doing the same thing. Now I have to send it to them for repairs (will only replace within 30 days). I really have not used it all that much.

Is anyone else out there having trouble with the Playmaker?

    Mine works OK, what model do you have? They changed the design in recent years.

    PL7000
  • I have the previous generation, maybe they didn't get it right this time. I was considering the PL-7000 because it can be upgraded to receive an eastern arc satellite, but maybe I better wait.
  • get the pathway x2. Its a little bigger but it can hit both birds and supports 2 receivers. It also does a little better in the rain.
