I used to use a 2 lnb dish with sat finder. Worked well, but was sometimes tricky to initially lock in. When I upgraded the tv to hd I got the Dish tailgater. It only gets western sats. I've used it from FL to northern Michigan, from western PA to Wyoming. The only 2 problems I've had are the smaller dish inside has a harder time finding sats with trees and brush; and as a channel surfer if I change from a channel on 1 sat to a channel on another sat the tailgator wants to rescan sometimes to get a better signal. A dish with 3lnb's would not do that, but would be trickier for the initial setup.
I'm heading to New England in May and will find out if it works there.
The Pathfinder X2 does get both eastern & western sats, but is bigger than the tailgator and will not fit in mystorage spot in my Class B.
