Dish Tailgator Pro 2 by King


Recommended Posts

I looked through a bunch of posts but still looking for some advise on this dish set up for two TVs. 

It comes with two Wally’s as well. 

Im aware only one sat at a time and watch channels on each tv that are on same sat. 

I heard this unit won’t receive sat in eastern US?  We would need the Pathway 2 to get both western and eastern arcs. 

Is it just we would be limited to some channels or no service in the east with tailgator? 

Is it a better option for us to get the pathway since we travel more east of the Mississippi? Florida more. ?

Thanks!

The Tailgater will work anywhere east of the Mississippi that you have a clear view of the southwestern sky towards the western arc sats. What it will not do is work where the only view is towards eastern arc sats more to the southeast. It also won't let you view those local stations in the east that are only on the eastern arc sats. The Pathway X2 solves both problems...

Thanks! 

I’m leaning towards a Traveler install. And set up with new hopper and run three TVs. 

I need to see how that setup will work. Read on here where there is a switch that is avail to keep the std LMB setup I think? 

Wondering what other units I’ll need to connect to the Bedroom and outside TVs

For a Hopper 3, you will need a DPH-42 Switch that connects to the three coax outputs of the standard DPP LNBF head to the Hybrid signals needed for the Hopper 3.

As for the other TVs, you can either use Joeys for each TV or if you don''t need to watch separate programming on one or both of the TVs, you can use a HDMI splitter.

I have four TVs, two on a HDMI splitter and two Joeys.
