BURLINGTON, Iowa (August 20, 2012) – Football season is right around the corner, which means pro and college football fans are dusting off their tailgating gear, getting pumped up to watch, attend and tailgate at stadiums across the nation. With all the new gadgets around, the sure bet to make any tailgate a hit is the Carryout automatic portable satellite TV antenna by Winegard. Football fans can catch up on all the other games before, during and after the Big Game.     

The Carryout automatic portable HDTV tailgating satellite dish by Winegard Company, the #1 antenna manufacturer in the U.S.A., sets up in just a few minutes with little-to-no effort. Compatible with DISH® and DIRECTV®, users can watch the games in crisp, clear HD with DISH or enjoy DIRECTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket in standard definition. To receive HD programming, you must have an activated HD receiver with HD programming package and an HDTV, sold separately.

‘Nothing makes tailgating more fun than watching other games and pre-game coverage before the game,” said Aaron Engberg, Director of Mobile Products for Winegard. “And, at such an affordable cost and the flexibility in using a receiver from home, it’s a quick and easy way to create the ultimate tailgating experience.”  

Made in the U.S.A., the Carryout automatic antenna is only 15.6” tall and 20” in diameter, and weighs just 11.5 lbs. It features an easy grip handle along with an eyelet on the base for added security. Included are a 50’ coax and 12V power cable. The Carryout features DVB technology for extremely fast and accurate satellite acquisition and automatically locks on and switches between the desired satellites, viewing a single satellite at a time.
