Winegard PA 6002 Satellite Reflector Multi Receiver Review

This is HUGE! We got this because it has the largest reflector of any portable dish and creates a great image. To elaborate further: As we traveled more with this dish, we found that the Wally receiver that came in this package would only support this antenna on a 25 foot RG6 cable that connects directly to the receiver connected is. A little more and the plate on the seat won't hold. We went back to the V211 and it works great with over 50 feet of cable. X2 is great, Wally does a really bad…

I had a lot of tuning problems so I got local channels. Numerous calls to Dish with no help until I found someone with Dish on the street who could help me. I've found that although this is a dual receiver antenna, to pick up more than one satellite this needs to be set up in single receiver mode. After that everything worked fine, but remember that the second receiver will only receive channels from the satellite that the first receiver is tuned to. Disappointingly, I spent two days and…

I've been using it continuously for 4 months in my caravan. I've looked at all the antennas available and this one seems to be the most versatile unless you want to install it permanently. I mounted it on a Winegard tripod and attached the bungee to the top of my existing antenna to keep it level and deter theft. It must be connected directly to an active receiver to find and test satellites. I had to run the cable down a retractable duct and through the interior ceiling to the receiver under…

After weeks of back and forth with the Dish and X2/Wally box combo, I regret that I didn't live up to expectations. The X2 is easy to set up, but connecting to Wally, downloading updates and setting up the original box took days, not hours or minutes. If you want to add a second block on the same X2 - STOP! We've never managed to get it to work with any degree of success. The "second" device must be on the same satellite as the "main" device for this feature to work, and even then with less…

I was having a connection issue until I received the email below from Winnegard. According to their recommendations, our system works very well. We are much happier with this Winnegard than the King Tailgater we owned. It's really great in combination with the Wally receiver." When using the Pathway x2 with dual receiver tuning mode, the default antenna is set to 72 satellites to eliminate the antenna switching function, so both receivers have the same program. You you can reset the receiver…

It's really unfair to give a glowing review after only 24 hours of ownership but I want to share my first impressions of this package. It came in a large box with no visible damage and both the companion and Wally were brand new, unused items. Installation was quick and activating and setting up the Flex software was easy via Dish customer support. After the initial setup and programming was done and paid for, I unplugged the Wally and moved the dish around a bit as I noticed during the…

So I ordered this as it was classified as a portable satellite and I have autistic kids and was planning to use it for hiking in our caravan which is old and doesn't get HD channels. It came and I immediately opened it and read the instructions. I also bought a stand for it from Wineguard and an extra receiver. I followed the instructions and made sure the coax was connected and pointing north and the unit had a clear view of the southern sky. After 90 minutes of "checking the switch" and…
