Opinions on Dish Tailgater?

Search the *Technology Corner* forum here - for satellite info and lots of Tailgater threads/posts.

Or - simply do a search here (on the 5th wheel forum) - but don't limit it to 5th wheels.

I wouldn't get ANYTHING to do with dish

Specifically why?

I had Directv for about 20 years and switched to DISH about 9 mos ago and I have not had any unpleasant experiences.


Tech support is the same; sometimes you get someone that knows a lot and sometimes you don't.

Aiming the dish is the same tho DISHs dish is smaller and stores easier.

DISH is way easier to deal with changing service addresses.

DISH is less expensive; free HD and DVR for life.

As a new customer I got 190 channels for 24 mo for $49/MO, free premiums for 3 mos, Hopper with a Joey. And free Netflix for a year.

And a $100 gift card for signing up thru Good Sams.


No complaints here.

We have the older tailgater and we have used it for several years. We love it. May upgrade to the newer one later.

We love ours.

I am going with a Winegard Pathway X2. It has a bigger dish and works better in the rain, it gets DISH eastern AND western arc so better chances of getting a signal and it supports two boxes.

We've been using the Pathway X2 for a year now (full-timers) and are very happy with it. We have HD on all channels and a hard drive connected to the 211Z receiver to record programs when we're not at home. The only times we've had to do without TV was when we were in "tropical rain forest" conditions with a tree canopy so thick and complete that there was no way to get a signal.

I agree! I have the Pathway X2 and use two receivers in the coach and have had very good service from it.
