Dish tailgater

Submitted 10 years ago

By JohnN

From Yellowstone National Park

Verified Buyer

Pros: Quick delivery. As Advertised. Cons: Dish receiver had connections for only newer TV's. After several calls to different phone #'s @ Dish, I was not able to find a solution. Three hours of trying to find the solution, I finally found out that I needed a Modulator to allow me to connect the new receiver to my old TV. [...] Other thoughts: Beach Camera might ask purchasers of the Dish Tailgater if they are using it on a new or old TV. If using TV which has only the old style of cables, suggest that they purchase a RF MODULATOR, PVSM 3/4S manfg'd by Tradewinds Intnl. Cost approx. $19.00+ shipping.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Dish Tailgater for Travel Trailers

Submitted 11 years ago

By Jeffjan

From Georgia

Verified Buyer

Pros: Great for camping in a travel trailer. Easy to set up and it's very light for transporting. Great value too if you are already a Dish customer at $7.00 a month and you pay this only when you activate it for a trip. At this price, we are going to keep it activated to avoid the hassle of deactivating and activating. Cons: Came with outdated software so Dish couldn't activate it the first time we used it. Fortunately for us, we were at a campsite where they had the Dish Network in the Game Room so we were able to hook up our receiver to their dish and it automatically downloaded the correct software. Please make sure the correct software L745 is loaded in the receiver before you purchase it. Other thoughts:

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
