Portable Sat

What is the best portable sat antenna that can receive both Dish or Directv? Not at the same time but either/or depending on receiver.
  • Howdy!

    You may want to look at the VuQube Flex. I like it because it only requires on cable were the Winegard G2 requires a 12 volt cable also. I would like to see winegard come out with a Pathway X2 for DTV.

  • If you don't mind doing a bit of the setup work the Winegard Anser is a semi-automatic antenna. The original Carryout has been replaced with the Carryout G2 and is a small overall size. However, there's nothing new and different other than the housing so if you can find a clearance deal on the Carryout you will have a great antenna at a great price.
  • If you can go with Dish, the Winegard Pathway X2 is the way to go. It picks up both east and west satellites and is way better than anything else out there. I know where you can get a like new used one cheap too.
  • I checked on the Carry Out that was suggested and that seemed to have the features that I would like. If there is another one that is less expensive, that would be good.
  • When you say best do you mean easiest, cheapest or can find the most satellites eastern and western arc?
