Update: as I somewhat expected, the Cust Service rep(s) I spoke to this past weekend while activating my Dish/Tailgater that told me a tech visit was necessary didn't know WTF they were talking about....the tech came by today, didn't have to do anything, my service just needed to be activated, which could have been done over the phone when I first called to do exactly that.. He apologized for the inconvenience and admitted that the service reps didn't know what they were talking about.

So if a rep tells you a tech is necessary for activating your Tailgater for the switch to Eastern arc, tell him/her that she is wrong and to activate your service.

As I told the reps on the phone initially, a tech would only be necessary if you have a mounted dish at home...as we all know, the Tailgater is automatic, no adjustment(s) needed.

Awesome!

That's why I didn't think it made sense neither. I can understand a mounted dish, but a dish specifically made to be portable shouldn't need any adjustments.

Thanks again, I will activate mine and setup in my back yard on Saturday and run my usual tailgating equipment tests before the season.

Thinking of purchasing the dish tailgater. Came across this old thread while researching it. Had a couple questions: I'm a dish subscriber so do I need the vip211 receiver or can I just take the vip722k from my bedroom when I go camping? If I can use this receiver, will I be able to jump to a second TV like the set up at my house? And will any of this increase my monthly bill?
