1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 System Overview

The Winegard RoadTrip LP is a low profile, in-motion satellite system. RoadTrip LP utilizes GPS (global positioning system) and DVB (digital video broadcasting) technology. GPS is used to determine the present location of your antenna, and DVB is used to verify the antenna has located the correct satellite.

Roadtrip is a Ku-band satellite television reception antenna that is gyro stabilized and has a continuous 360° rotation to keep it locked on the selected satellite. RoadTrip is designed for both open-road tracking and stationary operation.

The RoadTrip system has certain operational limits with respect to use in the United States. Although designed for use with DISH Network and DIRECTV, the system may not work in all geographical locations or with all satellite receivers. See coverage maps, pages 14 and 15.
