Just a suggestion for the security of the carry out. I got a tripod as a promo from CW and I took the base of that tripod and placed it on top of the ladder of the fiver. Drilled some holes in the plate and used some U clamps to hold it down. All you have to do then is take the carryout up and sit it on the plate, twist a little and hook cables. Works great and not many are going to climb a ladder and try to steal it. Also could use a cable and lock around the ladder too for added security. Also allows you to have a tripod to set it up if your in the trees.

Biggest drawback of the carryout is the single LNB and the no HD availability.

Dave I think the new ones there is no worry on the sat selection it tunes them automatically. they said is becomes a problem when two receivers are used, I guess I see what you are saying now with the OEM sat dish and the duel LMB's and this one it nust turn the dish to the proper sat when needed 110 or 119 in my case. I guess they will fix that soon enugh for more sales.
thanks for the sugestions on security.
