Always leave the receiver on at night (TV off) and you will have instant TV on in the morning. If you turn off the receiver at night you have to do the reset which takes about 15 minutes. I am 5 yrs full time and our Tailgater has worked flawlessly.

Our Direct dish on the '02 DSDP was still working great in 2015 when we traded for the present rig.

We are still using the roof top dish on our '04 Journey with Dish TV. I use apps on my phone to help align it. We use mostly Satellite 119 but can also get some on 110. Welcome package from Dish is $20 a month. When RV is not being used, we pay $5 a month.

What's the welcome package?

When we signed up for DISH I saw an ad for a $40 package and Dish insisted it was going to cost $60. I asked to speak to the manager. Got the same run around, so I asked to speak to the next supervisor. That person finally asked if I would be interested in their "Welcome Package." They don't advertise it. Not a lot of channels, but the cable channels we wanted were there, and the local channels were included - for $20 a month. No Fox News or CNN, but we prefer MSNBC, and that was included. We've had it for a couple years with no problem, and good tech help by phone when needed.
