Winegard units[edit]

Winegard Carryout* / Winegard Carryout G2* / Winegard Carryout G3 / Winegard Carryout G4 / Winegard Pathway / Winegard Pathway X2 / Winegard Trav'ler* / Winegard Trav'ler Pro / Winegard Playmaker / Winegard Playmaker Dual / Winegard Roadtrip / Winegard Roadtrip T4 -> Winegard's Roadtrip series are "in-motion" dishes, made to work while doing highway speeds. They boast upgraded tracking algorithm onboard these -- if you can get access to a shell, these may be some of the better options available.

DIY serial cable necessary for some units[edit]

Do not buy these[edit]

-Winegard makes many portable RV satellite units that can be utilized either directly through a serial port to pass commands to it's firmware, or it's control PCB can be removed and replaced with an Arduino, H-bridge and gyroscope combo DIY custom control system. Both options are rather easy, but sometimes require knowing obscure information you would have no way of knowing beforehand -- this resource is for these types of things.
- Write about briefly, link to, the power injection cable as well as the RJ25 + RS485 custom jobs often needed in order to work with these dishes.
-Their main competitor seems to be Tailgater. (which may be owned by King Controls? their products are too similar to be coincidence)
