I have an older carryout as well and it works fine with Dish Network. However one needs to pay attention to which satellites the dip switches are set for. In the Northeast it is difficult to pickup the Western Arc satellites. I have set my Carryout to get the Eastern Arc until I travel in the mid-west and west. Then I set it to the Western Arc. In Florida it makes no difference and I set to what ever Satellites that have a clear view. Saying all that the only problem I have with the Carry out is that it has a smaller reflector and wags out in some rain storms.
