Portable Satellite Antenna: The Tailgater by DISH is a receiver-controlled automatic portable satellite antenna. The Tailgater offers automatic satellite acquisition wherever you go with no separate remote control or power source required. DISH's satellite technology allows you to watch HD programming while the vehicle is moving using this auto-tracking antenna. The fully automatic portable HD satellite antenna sits on the ground or permanently mounts to the roof of your RV.

DISH Satellite Receiver: The Tailgater comes with a DISH satellite receiver (VIP211z) for receiving high definition and standard definition programming from DISH. The DISH VIP211z is a high-definition (HD), single-tuner satellite receiver that is perfect for mobile use. Its compact design is perfect for applications where there is limited space (like in an RV). It supports one TV in high-definition (HD) or standard-definition (SD). The DISH receiver provides HDMI and Composite Video/RCA Outputs to your TV. There are also two rear-panel USB ports and an Ethernet RJ-45 jack.

• Audio Codes: PCM and Dolby Digital 5.1ch surround sound.

Note: The DISH satellite receiver measures 12.9375" (w) x 2" (h) x 8.9375" (d).

DISH Programming: Using the Tailgater Portable HDTV System, you can view most any DISH or DishLATINO programming packages. Some channels, including international programming, RTN, local channels and Regional Sports Network(s) are subject to availability based on your geographical location. You can then add this antenna and receiver package to your existing account for just $7/month, and you can turn on or off this fee on a monthly basis as your travels require. If you are not already a DISH subscriber, you can sign up for Pay-As-You-Go TV programming.

Note: The included VIP211z receiver requires the USB Digital Over-the-air Tuner (sold separately by DISH) for local channels.

Dual Coax Outputs: The portable satellite antenna feature two coax outputs, so you can connect up to two Dish Network receivers for multiple TV viewing. Second receiver sold separately. Programming must be on the same satellite.

Full Automatic: Your satellite TV programming is delivered from up to 3 satellites located at the 110°, 119°, and 129° west longitudes. The KING Tailgater will automatically find and then switch between satellites as you change channels to offer you the ideal viewing experience.

Coax Connection: The Tailgater portable antenna connects to the DISH Receiver using the included 50' coax cable.

Power Requirements: The Tailgater portable satellite antenna draws power from the included DISH VIP211z receiver through the coax cable. The receiver will require a 110VAC power source, and draws about 50 watts. You will need a power inverter to run all of your equipment from your vehicle's DC power supply (110VAC power outlet required). If your TV is rated greater than 100 watts, it may require direct connection to the vehicle battery. 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.

Note: Starting your vehicle may temporarily shut off power and require a quick rescan for DISH satellites.

Simple Setup: The Tailgater portable satellite antenna automatically locates and points to DISH satellites so you don't have to worry about pointing an antenna. You simply need to pick your state using the DISH receiver's remote and on-screen menu to start watching DISH programming outdoors.

Placement: The Tailgater requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky for the best signal reception. Be sure to place the Tailgater in a location free from obstructions such as people, trees, buildings, vehicles, etc. This will allow for the strongest signal and will help prevent any interruption to your programming. Point the handle approximately north to speed up search time.

Note: Heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover can reduce the satellite signal, which may interrupt your programming. Your programming should return as conditions improve.

Security: The Tailgater features an integrated security bracket that can be secured to an object using a padlock and cable (not included) to deter theft.
