Good Product but Does not save Money
I bought this thinking it would save the $7 per month rental fee on DISH Network. Unfortunately, you still end up paying a $7 per month access fee. Why buy when you can get it for free from DISH? Crazy. I am planning to send it back and get one for free from DISH Network. Product does what it...
Why not to buy
I bought the VIP 211k receiver and find that Dish Network charges the same $7 monthly fee whether you own or rent the receiver from them. So, in fact, it costs way more to own a receiver. Seems strange since I had hoped to save the monthly fee by owning. The receiver is fine - easy to setup (you...

DISH Launches 'Tailgater,' a Robotic Mobile Satellite TV Antenna

If you ever felt compelled to load an HDTV, satellite dish and tuner with you to the great outdoors, DISH Network has a product for you.

DISH Network's "Tailgater" probably will appeal less to the actual tailgater than to the RV owner or someone who at least owns a trailer. But for those that do, it means eliminating the need to find a pole (or tree limb), fixing it in the ground, and hollering "Do we have a signal?" over and over in order to catch up on Jersey Shore.

The Tailgater looks surprisingly like a small Weber barbecue. But at $350, the Tailgater provides a much cheaper alternative to a competing model by Wineguard (which lists at $899), which already works with DISH and Bell TV. Other competing solutions are available from SeaKing as well.

The selling point of the Tailgater is that you don't need to align it; inside the container, a dish antenna robotically swivels and locks on to the appropriate signal without exposing the dish itself to the elements, as long as there's line of sight between the Tailgater and the southern sky. You'll need a 110-volt power connection, however, as the Tailgater only works with the Dish ViP 211k single-tuner HD box, which also requires a standard power prong.
