I really have enjoyed my Dish Tailgator while camping. However, unless the receiver is kept plugged in round the clock, you will need to call DISH to re-activate your account upon plugging in the receiver.  This takes at least 1/2 hour per occurrence.  Assuming you have cell service. I just spent 2 hours with SEVERAL people at DISH attempting to get access to my channels. The TAB is sitting next to my house, connected to the Tailgator on my roof - but they can't authorize my account. Hmm?

    Yes and no. I recently bought a Wally receiver to fit in some custom cabinets. Everything worked fine until today. Spoke with four different people trying to get a signal. No joy. Their technology just isn't ready for prime time.

    Dish problem solved. Wound up just being a lousy error message upon start-up. The system actually works fine.
