I have been using the Dish Tailgater for 2 years, at least I have been trying to use it. This system is the most sensitive system I' ever seen, if there are a couple of branches in front of the Dish it wont work. The Dish has to have a total unobstructed view of the southern sky or it will not work. The VP211K receiver stopped working after one year and I bought the new VP211Z, same results. Other campers that use Direct TV with portable Antennas have no problems receiving a good signal. I'm wondering ????
