Set up is a snap with the no-hassle DISH Tailgater.
All you need is a clear view of the southern sky. We’ll do the rest. Weighing only eight pounds, the DISH Tailgater is lightweight and compact, making it easy to transport. Once you place your Tailgater on the ground or another sturdy location, the auto-aiming feature will automatically connect to DISH satellites taking all the guesswork out of getting started. You’ll be ready to watch TV in minutes.
Payment is simple, too.
With no contracts and no extra fees, Pay As You Go Monthly Service from DISH only bills you for the months you use. You may cancel the satellite service at any time, without penalty. Already have DISH at home? Just add the new receiver to your account for one bill. You’ll never have to be without TV again. Call DISH to see if local channels are available in your area.
KING now offers the best of both worlds – antennas and satellite TV service. We can help you choose the right programming, whether you need service at home or on the road.
Who is it for? What does it do?
Ideal for RVers, sporting and outdoor enthusiasts, tailgaters, long haul truckers or anyone with an active mobile lifestyle, the DISH Tailgater allows you to take your DISH satellite TV service anywhere in the continental U.S. The Tailgater works only when stationary. Compatible DISH HD Solo receiver required. (When used with a Wally receiver, the DISH Tailgater Pro can view eastern satellites for users in the Upper Northeast.)
You’ll never have to miss the big game, breaking news reports, or your favorite show while out and about. Like all of KING’s portable and mobile satellite TV antennas, the DISH Tailgater is great for camping, RVing, hunting, fishing, or at your backyard barbecue, 2nd home, cabin, or ice fishing house.
How it works:
The portable and lightweight DISH Tailgater is easy to carry and easy to set up. Simply plug the Tailgater antenna into a compatible DISH HD Solo receiver (required, sold separately) with the included 35 feet of coax cable and connect the satellite receiver to your TV (you will need access to 110v AC or a power inverter to power the DISH receiver and TV).
Once powered on, simply follow the easy on-screen instructions. The Tailgater 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.
