Introducing the state-of-the-art redesigned DISH® Tailgater® Pro with the first ever ultramodern clear cover. It’s simply better, by design. Enjoy live HD DISH satellite TV wherever the fun takes you with the Tailgater Pro premium satellite TV antenna. Designed for the RV, sporting events, outdoor enthusiasts or even owners of a second home, the DISH Tailgater Pro is ideal for enjoying all your favorite TV programs anywhere, anytime. The DISH Tailgater Pro’s flexible design is ideal for portability or roof-mounting. It is fully automatic and works right out of the box when connected to a compatible DISH HD Solo receiver. The award-winning design includes an exclusive interactive on-screen display for hassle-free set-up for DISH programming. The Tailgater Pro supports multiple TV viewing, so you can stay current on more than one show or live event.
With Pay As You Go TV, there is no contract required and no activation fees. Best of all, you only pay for the months that you want to use it.
Customers that DO NOT already have a compatible receiver (ViP 211, 411, or Wally) will want to purchase the Bundle system.
Once powered on, simply follow the easy on-screen instructions on the KING Antenna. The DISH Tailgater Pro will automatically locate the DISH satellites, delivering access to HD channels in just minutes. If you are watching TV from your vehicle for more than a few hours, periodically run your vehicle to maintain battery life. For extended use, a portable power generator, power pack, or alternative accessory battery is recommended.
Video
Note: The Tailgater only works in the 48 contiguous United States.
International channels are now only broadcasting on satellite 118w and are no longer on the eastern arc. As a result, there are no mobile antennas capable of picking up these channels.
**Programming lineup will be limited and/or not identical on the Secondary receiver. Complete signal loss can occur on the Secondary receiver if the Main receiver switches to programming on a different satellite that does not carry the same channel. However, the Secondary receiver can be re-configured to receive the same programming from any current satellite that the Main receiver is locked onto and is viewing live TV.

The system is easy to setup and operates just like my home system. The activation process was simple and the personnel were professional and polite. Overall a great value.

So glad we got this as an addition to our RV. Used this past weekend and was super easy to set up and get going!

This package is replacing our original Tailgater and VIP211k. I couldn't be happier! The Wally is much smaller and a bit faster than the 211, and the transparent dome of the King dish is very handy so I can see where the dish is pointing and if the red light on the circuit board is lit, I know I have it hooked up correctly.
We have had good success in using our previous setup all over the US, including the east coast.
Set up is always easy, and with a phone app that shows me where the satellites are for a clear view, it's even easier.
So far the new dish and Wally seem to actually find and setup a bit faster. Perfect!!!!

This system works great right out of the box. Everything came right up, and one call to Dish to activate it and all channels were there for viewing.
Very glad we purchased it. Dish is truly on the leading edge of customer service, technology and implementation.

We upgraded from an older G2 to this unit. Absolutely love the fact you can see thru it and where it's aiming. Makes it easy to move it to an area it's happy with. Super easy setup!

I am having people come by to see if I am still alive. I watch all the channels in perfect HD. Why leave......except for more munchies

Just purchased this for my camper. It was easy to set up & they were very helpful to get everything going. Picks up signal great. I’m not in a lot of trees, so not sure how good it would work in trees. I’m happy so far!

Overall really like this system but you have to understand it’s limitations. All the literature tells you that the second receiver can only receive channels from the satellite that the main receiver is tuned to but there are a couple of other things you have to know in order to get the most out of the second Wally. First: when setting up the system you have to start up both Wallys, one at a time using the main port or you will not have access to all of you channels. Second: if you are turning off the TV for your main Wally so you can watch the second Wally shut the TV off with the TV remote. Using the Wally remote will shut the Wally off which will not allow you to watch local channels.
Any time you need to reset either of the two Wally receivers make sure it is connected to the main port so all you subscribed channels show up in the guide.

We like the unit, but I think its a stretch to say that it would work United States wide.
It needs to have a clear path with any obstacles to the south.
It is not exactly as easy as the instructions say to get it set up.
We had to get Tech support from Dish, but Tech person was EXCELLENT and very patient with us.The booklet says that it is not the best for the north eastern US (where we live!) so some channels do not come in at all.

Easy setup. Just set it on the ground, connect cable to your receiver, turn on TV and receiver, and you are guided through the auto scanning procesd

Easy Setup on this DISH Tailgater Pro Premium Satellite Antenna system.
I Was watching TV in just 20 minutes.
The only problem is I can only pick-up two satellites.

Great satellite antenna. Easy to use and setup. So far I have only used it at one location and since we have been stationary for last 4 months, don't have much else to add until we move campgrounds. So far so good.

Best thing we ever bought for our rv. And so easy even us folks who arnt real good with electronics can do we were watching tv in less than 30 min

My family and I really like Glamping these days. the Dish pro is easy to set up and its light weight. I purchased an additional receiver so we don't have to fight over what programs we want to watch. After the initial set up, its basically a plug and play system. The individuals down at tech support are awesome to work with and are very patient.

This setup along with pay-as-you-go and being able to use an app on my phone to change my location for local channels is all great. Dish has done a wonderful job putting everything together for the traveling RVer. This receiver does work both east and west part of the country by changing one setting to pull a different satellite for local HD channels.

this product works great the reason I gave it four stars is that the board stopped communicating with the receivers but the product support was great they fixed it in a timely manner

Does set up fast and easy and great viewing

The dish is working out great on our Houseboat, takes a few minuets to learn where the satellites are then it's just like sitting at home.
