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.

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

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...

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...

Does anyone know if a special heavy duty rg6 cable is made that can stand being rolled out and put away for use with the tailgater? I thought I was very tender with my cable till last night. Thanks

I had a strange on with my new Tailgater. Prior to this problem I had a green lock on all three satellites. Got back to the RV late last night. Turned on the system and had complete signal loss. It worked perfectly several hours earlier. Rescanned and had fewer satellites message probably did...

Just setup up the Tailgater today for the first time. I did as you state, hook up cables, place in proper location with south exposure, turn on, set state and off it went. First time was able to find 110 and 119. Went out and repositioned Tailgater rescanned and this time it said that all...

I have read all the details I could find about the Tailgater and have not found a detail that exists with the other Vu cubes. Is the Dish Tailgater "self leveling" as the other VU cubes are? I see no mention of this anywhere, does anyone know the anwser? Thank you.

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

In my RV I have a 322 and dish 500 dual LNB. I have gotten pretty good hitting the satellites. But I see the Tailgater. Can it really deliver what it promises? I would like to think so has anyone had experience with it recently? My major concern is since the dish inside the Tailgater is...

I just noticed some info on the Dish NW site about the Tailgator. Does anyone have one right now? It sure looks like a Vue Cube too. The info states it comes with a HD receiver so does that mean it hits all 3 satelites like 110, 119 and 129? Intresting

In my RV for several years I have a 322 that has a Dish Pro LNB on a Dish 500 round dish. This LNB I was told has a built in switch that allows me to use one cable to the receiver in the RV to get both 110 and 119. This setup has work great. I found that the cable that I leave attached to the...

Right now I set my Dish 500 and lock on to 110 and 119, no problems. I bring the signal into my RV with one coax cable from the dual LNB. If I got a HD receiver for my camper I know I would have a triple LNB to capture the 129 signal, could it also come in on the same single cable. If so what...

What is the difference between a system reset by holding in the power button or simply unpluging the receiver? If they are different when is it appropriate to use either one? Thanks

Taking the 5th wheeler out next week. I have a special place where we park our trailer, there is a "hole" in the tree canopy. I can usually hit 110 and 119. Here is my "method", can anybody tell me if there is a better way to hit the satellites? 1 I have a tripod with an internal...

Let me set the stage, I have a 322 in our RV with a tripod that has a center level so I know I am plumb vertical. I even set one leg of the tripod due south to help me with my orientation to the open sky. Just got back from a 6000 mile trip over 13 western states. As we traveled across the...

We have Dish NW in our RV. I was wondering is there a perferred sequence for the following. I find the satelite with the finder, trying to get the max signal strength. My specific question is should I do a system reset with the power button first, then the check switch test? With...

We are at our favorite campground right now. It is beautiful but a very difficult place because of trees to get both 110 and 119. I have to cheat so far to the west that I lock on 129 and 119! Can get 45% strength for 119. My question is if I know that I can't get 110 can I hit 119 easier...

When I aim my Dish NW I lock on to 119 and 129? What is 129? Seems like I cannot hit the 110/ 119 combo. The skew is set correctly for zip code. Any suggestion what i am doing wrong? Thanks

Not sure if this is the right place to post a question. Can I receive Dish NW in Canada and up into Alaska with the 500 Pro dish? Thanks

I currently have a 311 operational in our 5th wheel RV. To use it I have to have the cabinet open and be line of sight for the remote. My idea is to change to a 322 and use the input for the TV that would use the RF remote. This way I can change the channel from the bedroom or where ever...
