We Love the Tailgater!
We waited to put up our review until after we had a chance to use this. When we first set up the Tailgater, we getting error messages and we tried calling Dish. They tried a few things and even sent us to a 2nd party troubleshooter but we had no success. After some Internet research, I discovered a recommended iPhone app for locating the satellites in the sky--it turned out all the Dish Satellites were behind trees where we were parked, so that was the problem all along! Once we got the app, we were able to move the Tailgater to a better location on our site and it picked up the all the channels quickly! So the bottom-line is, this is a great device, but you also need to know where the satellites are in the sky so you can place it in the best spot for picking them up. I recommend the DishForMyRV app if you have DishNetwork. There is another app I have used which is also good but shows all the satellites and was confusing for me, it is called Satellite Locator. We decided to go with Dishnetwork because they offer a monthly subscription for Rv'ers. So far, we have subscribed for 2 months at about $60 per month. We get great reception and have no complaints. One tip I will give you is, once you are set-up and have checked your switch, go to Menu-Installation-and tweak the transponders for both 110 and 119. By tweaking the transponders to a higher or lower number, you can improve your signal strength and thus your channel reception.
