MERIDIAN (dpa-AFX) - Dish Network Corp. (DISH) announced that its subsidiary DISH Network L.L.C introduced the Tailgater, a lightweight, portable satellite TV antenna ideal for watching TV while tailgating, camping, RVing or engaging in other outdoor activities. The Tailgater costs $350 and works with DISH Network's ViP 211k (MSRP: $149) single-tuner HD receiver.
DISH Network noted that it offers customers a convenient solution that allows them to pay month-to-month for programming, ensuring they only pay for the service when in use. Current DISH Network customers can use their existing account to service the Tailgater system. An additional outlet fee may apply, the company said.
Weighing in at just 10 pounds, the Tailgater automatically locates satellite positions, which means that there's no need for manual antenna adjustment. The Tailgater easily connects to a small, sleek DISH Network set-top box and TV, the company stated.
