Portable domes set on the ground, a tripod or a truck bed and can also be fixed to a roof with a mount kit. They are stationary: park, connect, and the dome finds the satellite in a few minutes. Winegard’s Playmaker line is DISH only and the cheapest; the Carryout G3 adds DIRECTV and Bell TV for about $200 more. The KING Tailgater units are DISH only. The older Winegard Pathway and Carryout G2 domes are listed but ranked below current models.
