I've had a Tailgater for over two years now. Since I can't always guarantee that I will be facing the correct direction or that the tree foliage won't block the signal, I just keep my Tailgater in a storage compartment. Then, when at my destination, I place it on the ground and run the coax from the tailgater to my coax outlet, which is in my electrical compartment. I've found that. in most cases, I have to move the Tailgater around in order to get all 3 satellites. And sometimes it just does not work due to the tree canopy. I have read of others mounting them permanently. However, I would think that situations would arise when a stationary mounting would result in not finding one or more satellites.
