The older Tailgater only get the western arc of birds. When we were north of 42° latitude, we were on the eastern arc. The newer Tailgater is supposed to get both arcs. Check and make sure it does.
I see nothing on the King Controls site indicating any of their automatic dishes have Dish eastern arc capability. Western arc only apparently...
Tailgater 4 just released.
It's in the "Features" section Here
Ah... Ok, I hadn't seen that listed. The listing is a bit misleading though, since only the eastern arc 61.5 sat can be received as a replacement for the western arc 129 sat. You still need western arc access for the 110 and 119 sats for the full programming spread. And the 61.5 sat is only accessible with a Wally, not the 211 series boxes. That's the same setup the recent Winegard update adds for the Playmaker.
WALLY RECEIVERS: Your television programming is delivered from up to 3 of 4 satellites located at the 61.5°, 110°, 119° and 129° west longitudes. You will choose between two groups of satellites based on where you are in the country: the 61.5, 110, 119 trio and the 110, 119, 129 trio.
