I have the Tailgater for Dish and it works very well for me. While it is going to look for 3 sats it does not need to find all 3. This can be an issue if you are trying to shoot through THICK trees. It will work fine with 2 (I'm not sure which 2) and simply drop the other channels. Occasionally in high winds through trees, one of the remaining two will degrade, but service has remained fine on the third (and only remaining) sat.
It is remarkably easy to use, although the OP says that doesn't interest him. While it can take 10-15 minutes to reacquire sats, I can't imagine anyone getting a manual dish aimed quicker than that. As said, HD comes direct from each sat, so even with fewer stas and fewer channels, you will still get HD on the remaining HD channels. Not all channels are offered in HD.
