What to do if my Winegard Antenna appears to lock onto a signal but the receiver shows no picture?
If your Winegard Antenna locks onto a signal, but your receiver doesn't show a picture, the receiver might be improperly configured for the Carryout G2 antenna. Verify the switch settings are set correctly for your provider and reconfigure the receiver.
How to fix a Winegard Carryout G2 that doesn't move or find a satellite?
If your Winegard Antenna doesn't move or attempt to find a satellite, there may be no communication between the power supply and the antenna. Verify the power source is providing +12 VDC to the antenna and try an additional power source. Ensure that the power plug is fully seated and locked into the power socket on the antenna.
What to do if my Winegard Antenna isn't working after switching providers?
If your Winegard Antenna isn't working properly after switching satellite service providers, the switches may not be set for the correct provider. Remove the dome and set the switches to the correct programming provider.
Why does my Winegard Carryout G2 Antenna continuously search for signal?
Your Winegard Antenna might continuously search because obstructions are blocking the satellite signal. Check if the southern sky is clear of trees, buildings, large signs, or overpasses. Rain, snow, or excessive dew on the dome can also interrupt the signal, so brush off any snow or dew. If heavy rain or snowfall is blocking the signal, wait until the weather clears. Another reason may be a bad connection between the receiver and the antenna. Check that the main coax cable from the antenna is connected to the “Satellite In” port on the back of the receiver and verify all coax cables are properly terminated and that there are no loose connections.
Ensure the Carryout G2 antenna has a clear view of the southern sky for optimal signal reception.
