    Help! Please

    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...

    Dish in Canada?

    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...

    Dsh Reception on Alaska Trip in the RV

    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.

    Current TV finds a Buyer?

    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.

    Dish Tailgater Sub Forum?

    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

    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!

    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!

    Tailgater Problem

    Purchased my Tailgater in April of this year. I was amazed how it performed. We showed it to other campers we met along the way even made a few sales for Dish NW. We left on our cross country trip and were in Niagara Falls, New York when the Tailgater stopped working. Initially I had 119 and...

    What Satellite Are My Locals On?

    How can I find out which satellite local stations are on? The reason I ask is that with my tripod I hit 110 and 119, will I find locals in standard definition as we travel in our RV this Spring. I would then call Dish with my new location. Thanks
