1. Happy Camper

   Posted by Unknown on Sep 4th 2020

   Worked well right out of the box. The VR app was a great help in locating satellites through limited openings in campsite trees.

2. Works Every Time So Far, Love the Service and Equipment

   Posted by ColoradoJerry on Jul 19th 2020

   I set up the Dish here in Colorado Springs, works fine, and took it to our land outside Cripple Creek CO, works great every time we go to the property. With no cable, or even power, it feels like home. We are very happy with the service to our remote located 5th Wheel, about 30 miles west of Cripple Creek, CO. Great Product.

3. Works Great

   Installation was easy and programming is only $7 month when you have Dish.

4. Playmaker

   Posted by GlenO on Jun 10th 2020

   This unit is extremely easy to connect up with your receiver box. Simply quick and easy.

5. Great so far

   Posted by Rick on May 23rd 2020

   We got this bundle a couple weeks ago and are very happy with it. East install and works well. The only issue is the long startup time when power is interrupted

6. Fast and easy set up.

   Posted by Unknown on May 19th 2020

   Fast and easy, no hassle set up. Was using manual and can put playmaker in place and it locates while i continue with setting yp camper. GREAT

7. New to Dish

   Posted by Unknown on May 17th 2020

   As a new customer and haven't activated yet, its hard to write a review. But we are excited about it and will say that its very easy to set up.

8. DISH Outdoors

   Posted by Unknown on Sep 14th 2019

   Got it all set up at my cabin on Sep 11 2019.
   I could not find any good options for mounting on the roof so I made my own backet that helped getting it leveled.

9. Works perfect

   Posted by Dean Knies on Sep 11th 2019

   Worked great at campground where no OTA TV signal was available. Just need clear view to southern sky.

10. Very easy to setup and activate

    Posted by Paul D Card on Aug 15th 2019

    Within 20 mins of it arriving had it up and working. Called dish and wasnt on the phone no more than 7 minutes was activated and viewing channels.

11. Tailgate TV made easy

    Posted by Tom from PA on Aug 5th 2019

    I just purchased the Playmaker and Wally. Super easy to set up, affordable to add to my existing account, and great signal. No more dropped signal when the cellular systems are overloaded at the ball game. Highly recommended

12. Works well

    Posted by Julie on Jul 9th 2019

    After figuring out the quirks of the set-up, everything works great. I had to set up my parents, which didn't go as smoothly as ours, bur overall we'll love having the Playmaker.

13. Decent entry level antenna

    Posted by Chris on Jun 17th 2019

    The Playmaker is Winegard's entry level satellite antenna.
    
    Pros: Inexpensive, automatic, 100% western channels, 90% eastern channels.
    
    Cons: It's entry level, you are not paying for Winegard's best technology. You will need optional brackets to mount. Single LMB means it only connects to one Sat at a time, and takes a little time to switch between satellites. Will not work in-motion.
    
    Overall: It's pretty amazing that this level of technology has become this inexpensive.

14. Not good

    Posted by Beatrice Higginbotham on May 20th 2019

    Ordered Playmaker to use when camping. Was told I would get same package as home service. When set up Playmaker would not pick up my local channels. Had to use a different city’s locals and that changed my home package also.

15. Playmaker

    Posted by Todd on May 2nd 2019

    Everything and as expected. Works great. Very pleased.

16. Works well

    Posted by Bruce on Apr 22nd 2019

    I already had Dish service with a wally. I put it outside on a cardboard box and connected it. It was well packaged, but when I removed it from the box it seemed to rattle. Must be normal, because it took about 15 minutes to find satellites and run the set-up before I was watching TV.
    I didn't give 5 stars because I am going to roof mount it on my RV. A Dish representative told me the front had to face South. Which is not marked on the dome. She said the cable connection was the back. That did not make sense to me because I would not always be able to park with the dome facing South. I then called Winegard, that representative told me that the unit goes 360 degrees. Which makes much more sense. So I think the descriptions and instructions could be more clear!!

17. Playmaker survives flood

    Posted by Christine Brown on Feb 28th 2019

    We had a flash flood in the RV park we were at that. We had to go to higher ground ASAP and had very little warning. We only had time to undo septic, water and electric. Our Dish Playmaker was left to bob in the three feet flood waters for 24 hours, until the water receded. We both assumed it would be toast. Can not believe it worked perfectly the next day. Absolutely shocked. You don't want any other satellite for your RV. Indebted to you guys at Dish. Thanks for making such a great product.

18. Super easy

    Posted by Robin Miller on Dec 25th 2018

    It was very easy to install and easy set up

19. Awesome device and easy set-up!

    Posted by George on Dec 3rd 2018

    Worked just as advertised. Plain and simple set-up and before you know it you are surfing the guide. This is the way to go for on the road in your RV and don’t want to miss Monday Night Football!!

20. I love it.

    Posted by Roger B on Nov 4th 2018

    About time I purchased a satellite for RVing. Early morning while preparing breakfast and watching whatever I wanted was nice.
