Anyone use a Dish Tailgater?
If so, how do you like it? I have heard it does not work as good as the Dish 500. Does it give a good picture all of the time and how does it do in the rain?

IMO the real value of the Tailgater is that it is powered through the coax and will function perfectly with 100-feet of coax, and functions reasonably well on 150-feet. This makes getting a clear shot of the sky very easy. And by the way, can someone show me how a tripod antenna can see through trees that a Tailgater can't?
My hat's off to anyone who is content to aim and futz with a tripod antenna. Me, I'd rather be watching the TV I brought all that gear for in the first place. I love my Tailgater!
Re/ Dish's idiotic customer service, my own experience confirms that of Cajun Bill. At point of sale we were all told we could suspend the service anytime, for any reason, at no additional cost. But call up and try to do that and you will get a world of grief from those creeps. They will insist that unless you pay that fraudulent $5/month you must close your account while you are disconnected. We're already paying a premium for the PAYG service, why in the world kick us in the shins over five bucks? Sheesh!
