Ready for Tailgater Season?

May 20th, 2013

It’s getting warm and we’re all ready to take the outdoors. Whether you’re tailgating at the hottest concert or camping with the family, you can take the great entertainment and service of DISH Network with you with the Tailgater portable satellite system!


With Pay-As-You-Go TV, there is no contract required, so you pay only for the months you use. When the season is over, simply stop your service without penalty. All you need is the Tailgater and a compatible receiver. DISH Network customers with a 411, ViP 211, or ViP 211k receiver need only purchase the Tailgater antenna for $350. If you need the whole system, receiver and antenna, it’s only $499 and you’re ready to start enjoying great satellite television everywhere you go!

Once your receiver has been activated during the first startup, startups with the Tailgater in the future take less than fifteen minutes. No need to worry about pointing or adjusting, the Tailgater is fully automatic and will find a satellite signal on its own, all it needs is a clear view of the southern sky. The Tailgater is powered via coaxial cable from the DISH receiver, and the DISH receiver must be plugged into an AC outlet. You can use an AC/DC converter to plug the receiver into your vehicle’s DC power supply, typically a 12V outlet.

To learn more about the Tailgater call 1-800-935-3509 today!
