King Flex and Dish

Question

This question is for anyone using a King Flex to obtain Dish Network service.

After acquiring all three (110, 119 & 129) satellites in Tailgater mode this is my experience: some channels will appear almost immediately while others will show a message telling me to change channels up or down until the desired channels appear. It seems as though there is quite a lag. Has this also been your experience in Tailgater mode? Have any of you used the alternative method whereby you run through a check switch procedure different from that of the Tailgater mode?

Our tailgater had some lag time when changing channels. We no longer have Dish. We canceled and are back to over-the-air television only. The kept raising prices, more and and more and more. We finally said: "Enough!"  We're saving ourselves $125 a month now.

Talking about the King FLEX in Tailgater mode not the Tailgater model.

Yes, but he is saying the Tailgater did the same thing as the Flex in Tailgater mode. No difference.

The issue is that you have 3 satellites, and 1 LNB. The LNB has to be pointing at the satellite that carries your channel. If the LNB is already looking at the correct satellite, you get almost instantaneous channel changes. If it is looking at another satellite, you have to wait while it repositions to the correct satellite.
