Winegard VS Tailgater Antenna for DISH
Looking to buy a portable Satellite unit. Does anyone have either the Winegard or Tailgater? Both work with DISH on the go. I know the tailgater is for ONE tv only. Anyone know about the Winegar...

The X2 supports two Dish VIP receivers watching different channels on the same satellite. The X2 also has a significantly larger reflector, making it more immune to rain fade than the Tailgater due to the stronger signal. The X2 also works with both the Dish eastern arc and western arc satellites, giving it more positioning flexibility compared to the Tailgater. All in all, the X2 is a better deal all the way around. The only con I can think of, is that it needs a larger storage space.
X2 - I bought the X2 in December, on the road 7 weeks since and very happy with it. Two huge pluses is the larger reflector and being able to hit either the Western or Eastern sats dependent upon where the trees are located. One other minus on the X2 - limited to 75' coax cable. I have not yet run into that issue but is in the instructions and I have seen it posted by others on this forum.
