Going to throw the BS flag on what they told you. I have a Tailgater and I installed a connector where the cable goes from outside the trailer to inside(dedicated satellite connection). Works fine with the 50' cable that came with the Tailgater to the outside/inside connector + 15' cable from the inside to the wall connector and also with a 135' longer cable that I purchased. You either have a bad connector or bad cable, or possibly a di-pole splitter which will also not work.

Called Dish, after much "hold please", talking to lower level help then finally a real technician, he said there cannot be any connectors between the Tailgater and receiver, just one straight coax. Didn't believe him but tried running one straight coax through an open window and it worked perfectly. Problem now, how to use one coax without an open window or door. Tried closing the door on the coax which worked for a while until it damaged the coax.
Any one else have this problem? How did you solve it? Any suggestions?
