HI all, i seen one of these contraptions on a truck a few nights ago and it doesn't look like it can be mounted like VUQUBE but was curious if any one here is using one and can shed some light on how well they work and what the cost is...
the cost is what has kept me away from the VU CUBE as i don't have alot of time to watch tv everynight and would only use it maybe once or twice aweek at the most
Dish tailgator??

Standard channels would be enough for someone that doesn't sit all the time, but DISH is good for weekend resets.
NWMAXI Thanks this. -
I think this is the same price as vu cube and made by the same company. The only difference is this one aims itself.
NWMAXI Thanks this. -
$350 for the antannae
$150 for owned receiver. what ever that means. cuz that's a lot of money for something i already own.
$31 first months service and insurance plan.
$531 to order the tailgator.
course, there's other ways of getting this thing. but price isn't any different then vuqube -
You got it Snowwy. The receiver needs to be the VIP211K model with latest firmware updates. If someone has that one then they can use their existing receiver.
-
And the tailgater is a portable chassis with rubber feet and a handle.
And it does not work with DirectTV. -
It looks like a neat setup, I'm under contract with directv for another 6 months so might look into it after that.
-
it also has a mount available, and we can get another reciever on our account so that will cut the cost down a bit..
-
A temporary mount. You can't leave it mounted while the truck is moving without voiding the warranty

i missed that when i was reading it,
