One thing I should share about the Tailgater, even with the receiver off it will occasionally do a search and move the dish. Don't know if it's just trying to fine tune the signal or if it's checking for updates to the programming guide, but it does put a drain on the battery. If you're boondocking, don't just turn off the receiver but kill the power. You'll have to wait for the system to find the satellites again when you power up, but beats a 3:00 AM low battery alarm from the CO detector. Trust me. :)
Yea ,it switches between the 3 locked in satellites , its annoying and its probably going to wear something out sooner
I use a plug strip with a switch on it to turn the receiver off , but you then have a long wait to refire-up the thing , if you just disconnect the rg6 cable , it will also stop the tailgater from searching , but the receiver then dosent need to re-start
A barrel splice somewhere you can reach handily does the trick
