The fact is that the dish inside the Tailgater is quite small. As a result, any blockage will have a much greater effect on reception than with a larger tripod mounted dish. Neither will receive through a heavy canopy of trees, but with minor blockage, the larger dish will have a definite advantage. The tailgater will also be more effected by rain/snow than will a larger dish.
It all depends with what you are happy with. We had a VuCube2000, which is a premium version of the Tailgater that can be programmed for various services and satellites other than the standard DISH Western Arc. Loved it, but now find ourselves at a seasonal CG with great free cable......

And by the way, can someone show me how a tripod antenna can see through trees that a Tailgater can't?
