King tailgater

I have Dish and a tailgater antenna (white with single connector). Can it be reprogrammed to use with Directv?
  • I have a dish tailgater and i'm pretty sure it can't be configured or Direct.
    Not sure if it's still the case but when I got my Tailgater it was HD compatible. Direct TV Sat receivers were not.
  • The Tailgater is Dish specific since it requires controlling software on the receiver to operate properly. King does (or did) make a DTV compatible model, but I don't recall the number.

    That antenna was made specifically for Dish network You would have to call King but
    1: I do not think it can be re-set
    2: even if it can you'd only get a tiny fraction of the Direc programming for Direc like Dish uses 3 different Sats. and that antenna can only see one of them the other two it can not even see let alone work with
  • I don't believe they can but for the final word contact the manufacturer, King controls in Bloominton MN.
