Winegard Co. introduces the Carryout MP1 manual portable satellite TV antenna. The Carryout is extremely compact and weighs only nine pounds. “Extensive market research showed us that there is a definite niche in the market for consumers who want a portable and affordable satellite TV antenna,” said Aaron Engberg, director of Winegard’s mobile products, in a news release. “Not everyone who wants a satellite TV system has an RV to mount it on, so our new Carryout MP1 satellite TV antenna is aimed directly at those consumers.” The manual antenna stores in a compact, durable case that doubles as the antenna base when in use. The case features an easy-grip handle for carrying or locking down. A bubble level, compass and elevation markings molded into the base make set-up quick and easy. The Carryout MP1 comes with 25 feet of coax cable to allow for optimal antenna placement. The case with antenna measures 16 inches wide, 18 1/2 inches high and 10 inches deep. The unit supports two receivers (not included), and it is compatible with DIRECTV (standard only) and DISH Network (standard and HD). MSRP: $199.
