The Dish Tech who was supposed to come here this morning said that a great part of Wisconsin is experiencing excess pixillation and random screen freezes from 119, they are working on the systemic problem.

I am a very long time Dish NW customer, loyal till it hurts. But this Fox News issue has pissed me off so bad it hurts. My house is wired for HD on all receivers will this existing cable work well if I switched to Directv? I do not want the hose rewired it is a pain in the butt for me and the...

We use a Tailgater in our RV and was wondering does anyone make a flexible rg6 cable that can stand up to rolling and unrolling and that resists kinking? hanks

We are in NW British Columbia, the Tailgater will not work. So I brought out the tripod and the Dish 500. The setting for the elevation is 23 degrees no problem at about 152 degrees azimuth. But the skew stumps me. It says -3.8, you guys now that the standard Dish has no negative numbers...

We will be traveling across western Canada on our way to Alaska. I would like to occasionally set up the Dish. I found a site that generates Dish angles based on location (looks like it uses longitude and latitude for the calculations). I would be happy with hitting 119 but when you set up...

I carry a Tailgater in the RV but I don't think it will work in Canada, so I will also haul my Dish 500 with tripod. Do I have a chance to hit any satellite's as we go north? I know the elevations really low in the sky the further north you go. Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.

I really wish Dish NW would consider removing this channel from all its packages. I really don't one penny of my money going to this station. It will just be a propaganda outlet for the radicals in the east.

I want Charlie to use his money wisely to keep prices down and I feel he is doing a great job!

With the great popularity of the Dish Tailgater could you establish a sub forum to support the users? There are a lot of little things that I know people have found and this would be a great place to exchange information. Thanks

I waited out the update until Dish fixed their bug. Last week when I finally took the update it worked perfectly. Case closed.

This morning when I plugged in the Tailgater it began the L552 download. But this time it worked just fine. I did not have to do the work around so it clear to me that the software was revised since my initial problem. Thanks Dish!

That number is on the system info screen.

DIRT Team how about some information about the L552 problem with the Tailgater? It does not work. Has Dish simply stopped sending out the L552 update so that if you still have the L551 you can use the Tailgater. Please pick up on this problem ASAP!

According to the Dish folks, if the receiver doesn't power off it cannot accept a download. Isn't this correct?

Tailgater was working OK till we got to our new destination. Strange verbiage appearing on check switch 1 of 3, something like checking your network table and then something like checking your spot-beam???? Never seen this before. Called Dish RV Support and they really couldn't help. So I...
