We've had the Tailgator for 2 1/2 years works fine our problem has been the Dish customer service when changing location and receiving local channels takes at least 2 calls to get them.
I usually had good luck with the techs when changing locations and wanting the new local channels but sometimes not, so I started just using the 'chat' feature on their site. The easy way is to write up all the boilerplate info in 'Word' (account number, etc) and have it ready to go, then add in your new location when you move and do a Paste into the chat box. Putting it in print also pretty much insures the Dish POC will get you the right locals. Done in about a minute and 15 minutes later you have the new locals. Easy-Peasy. I don't think you even need to log in to use the Chat feature.
And for the record, I've been fulltiming for 3 years now with a Winegard Pathway X2 and love it. Has a larger dish then the Tailgater, can access either the eastern or western sets of satellites, and has two cable outputs so you can hook up to two TVs and watch different channels as long as they come off the same satellite.
To the OP - You might do a search as this subject gets discussed every week.
