My Tailgater Continues to Amaze Me!!
I see there are active threads regarding shortcomings with the Tailgater. I'm posting this to say I've had NONE of those problems, and today I watched the technology FAR exceed my expectations. To...

I will agree the Tailgater is a great product. I can use mine in my driveway in central NH. I do have an I-pad app (DishformyRV) for finding the satellites. Use 100 feet of normal RG-6 cable with a connector. Two western arc sats are visible. And one is low on the horizon, and behind the trees. Regardless, the Tailgater does pull in great television, and all the channels I need.
I have found though, when in my southwest Florida location, I can pick up all three satellites very well. However, the third satellite is really just a duplicate of one of the others. So my guide shows me two entries for the same program at the same time. Not that it is a big problem. But this indicates that I am not missing much by not seeing the third sat in NH.
My I-Pad app makes it possible put the Tailgater in places that you would never believe it possible to find sats. In some state parks, I am able to set it in the woods, and have it peer through a tiny opening in the trees. Other people cannot believe it works there. So I swear by the DishForMyRV app too.
And I love that tailgater. Wonderful Technology. And for local channels, all I do is reset the TV input and use the over the air Jack antenna. Easy as pushing a button.
