Setting up my triple LNBF manually aimed 1000.4 dish typically takes me about 15 minutes, including setting up the tripod, anchoring and leveling it. Add about 5 minutes if I change the LNBF from one arc to the other. I use a
Smart Tracker satellite meter to dial in the aiming for all three satellites on either arc. One issue to note with the Tailgater, is that it will only use the Dish western arc satellites. That limits your aiming options and can make the difference between getting a picture or not in some locations. Even west of the Mississippi there are locations where the eastern arc is the better aiming choice. The small size of the Tailgater reflector is another issue that can be troublesome at times, particularly during heavier rain storms.
