Dish Tailgater
I am seriously considering the purchase of a dish tailgater for our Voltage 3200. We already have Dish at home so the monthly cost is minimal. A couple of questions to those that have one of these ...

We have the tailgater and love it. But if you have trees no signal. Also seems like every time we use it we have to call dish and get them to "ping" it before it will work. Every time you get a different person and have to go thru the spill, is it facing south, any obstructions, cables connected ect. Doesn't take that long but you would think you set it out there and go. Also some channels that you have at home won't work like local channels.
But I still love it. Have used it in Florida, Mississippi,Tennesse,Alabama.

Ditto but I was told by Dish that it is the receiver. If it sits dormant and doesn't receive updated programming that they have to send it a re-authorization signal. Anymore when I turn it on and get the message "programming not authorized" I call them up and tell them I'm powering up a dormant receiver and I need an authorization signal sent. Cuts through their automated troubleshooting questions real quick :)
Not very fond of that. What happens when your camping in a place with no cell service. Don't know where y'all camp but up here in MT & WY it doesn't take much to get out of cell service.
The system is OK powered down for a month or so before it needs reactivating. If yours has been down for that long and you plan a trip where cell service is limited, you should consider setting the system up to make sure it is activated before you leave. A 5 minute call is all you need to get it restarted.
