ABOUT SATELLITE TV RECEPTION

Satellite television uses satellites in a geo-stationary orbit over the earth. This type of orbit enables

the satellites to stay aligned over one place on the surface of the earth and to transmit your

television programming to the Tailgater when pointed at the appropriate satellite.

Your television programming is delivered from up to 3 satellites located at the 110°, 119°, and 129°

west longitudes. The Tailgater will automatically find and then switch between satellites as you

change channels to offer you the ideal viewing experience.

Due to the low look angle for the 129

satellite in the northeastern region of the

United States, you may experience

difficulty viewing programming from the

129 satellite while in the northeastern

region. (Programming from the 110 and

only. The available coverage

ABOUT SIGNAL LOSS

Because of the small size of the highly portable Tailgater, signal strength may not be as

strong as with a fixed home antenna.

OBSTRUCTIONS

The Tailgater requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky for the best signal reception.

Be sure to place the Tailgater in a location free from obstructions such as people, trees, buildings,

vehicles, etc. This will allow for the strongest signal and will help prevent any interruption to your

programming.

DO NOT BLOCK THE TAILGATER'S LINE OF SIGHT TO THE SATELLITES

IN THE SOUTHERN SKY AT ANY TIME!

RAIN AND SNOW FADE

Though rare, heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover can reduce the satellite signal, which may

interrupt your programming. Your programming should return as conditions improve.
