I also have the dish tailgater. I have never had to call Dish to have a signal sent to it. Just hook it up, turn on the receiver and select your state and GO. It takes maybe 10 minutes to find the satellites, find the signals and download the program guide. Then you are good to go unless the power goes off to the receiver. If so, you have to do the process over again, but still no call to dish for any kind of signal. Mine has sat over for several months at a time and still the same procedure.
Well, dang!!!! Dish told me this was "normal". Maybe I have a different style receiver.
