I purchased the dish tailgater antenna & receiver bundle from amazon. I was impressed with how easy it was to install and activate. It really does operate right out of the box. All the reviews claiming how well it works were accurate. 15 minutes to connect & 20 minutes with dish network to open a pay-as-you-go account. That’s all it took to begin watching HD TV at the campsite. Amazing.
Here’s what they say and thus far I’ve found this to be true -
Pay as you go, watch as you please:
no commitment
no contract
no charge to start or stop monthly
[COLOR=]I'm not a dish subscriber at home and the minimum programming package was dish America. I won't be able to pause service. I'll be billed for a minimum of 1 months service whether it's used or not.
Actually this is not necessary. When you stop using your service you just call DISH and tell them you want to "DISCONNECT" your service. At that point your service will stop and any unused portion of your pre-paid monthly payment will remain in your account as a credit toward when you re-start the service.
