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, t
he system may not work in all
geographical locations or with all satellite receivers
.
