The DISH Tailgater requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky for signal reception.  Be sure  

to place the DISH Tailgater in a location free from obstructions such as trees, buildings, etc. (See  

page 3.)  Point the handle approximately north to speed up search time.

  1.   Connect one end of the supplied RG-6 coax cable to the MAIN port on the DISH Tailgater and 

place in position.  It is recommended you use only the supplied RG-6 coax cable.   

  2.   Connect the other end of the supplied coax cable to the 

SATELLITE IN

 port on your receiver.

  3.   Plug your receiver into a 110 volt AC power source. 

 

The green power light on your receiver should illuminate or begin cycling on and off. 

 

Wait for the green light to turn solid.   

This may take up to two minutes. 

 

If it does not turn solid, power on your receiver using  

the front panel POWER button.  (On “z” models,  

this is located behind the door panel.)

  4.   Plug in and turn on your TV.   

 

In your TV’s input selection menu, choose the input that matches the connection from your 

receiver.  (Example: If using an HDMI cable from your receiver, choose the HDMI input on your 

TV.)  See your TV owner’s manual for details.
