thanks...do I just leave it on when I shut down generator ?

Yes, once the antenna is up and pointed it no longer requires power. When you power things off the antenna will just sit there. When you want to watch TV just power up the TV and receiver and watch TV!
Just be aware that when you power off, the controller display will go out and stay out even when power is restored. DO NOT confuse the fact that the controller is off with the antenna being stowed!!!! You can leave the controller off until you are ready to leave but you will first need to power it on and when it says connected, push power again so it can enter the stow routine.
If you turn the controller power back on and you did not want it to stow it is going to go through a new search routine and then lock back on.

thanks very much...BTW...we love the dish and ease of use...:C

You can also turn the controller off after the dish is raised to reduce power consumption when boondocking. Hold the select button and push the power button and it will turn off. These instructions are buried in the manual.
