Dish Playmaker (Winegard) vs Tailgater (Kiing)

We heard good thinks about the Playmaker, but once we started looking we decided on the Pathway X2 . It can get both the East, and west arch's, and can plug into 2 separate receivers at the same time.
Not sure about the Tailgater

There is/was also a discount code when ordering the bundle directly through Winegard..it was $399.00 for the Pathway X2 AND a Dish Wally with coupon code - PORTABLE100 . free shipping . .$422.94 delivered after tax

I actually did that deal, got the X2 and it is huge! I have a truck camper and nowhere to store that unit. I am going to RMA the X2 due to size.

I can see that, it is a space eater, especially for a TC . . It's a shame, it is nice

The bigger the dish, the stronger the signal - just sayin'. :B

I'm going with the Pathway X-2 because of the 18" dish. Check reviews and the Wingard Pathway X-2 stands head and shoulders above either the Tailgater or the Playmaker.

The 2 antennas you are considering is pretty much a coin toss. If you want a better signal, with the associated larger footprint, then the X2 is the best choice. If you are looking for a roof mounted antenna, forget about the X2.
