This one goes out to the real tailgaters. I mean the folks who commit to their parties. And these days, it doesn’t require a tailgate to be a tailgater. There are plenty of folks who bring cars, SUVs, even RVs to parking lots all around the country and throw tailgate parties. It’s one of the great things in life to be able to combine vehicles, sports, and good friends, all at the same time. And of course no tailgate party is complete without live TV, right? I know you agree with me. That’s why you found this article.
What’s the easiest way to get live TV while you’re tailgating? A Tailgater satellite system, of course! KING, the leader in mobile satellite, has engineered the perfect way to watch live TV anywhere you have a view of the sky. It’s as simple as:
- Put the Tailgater on a level surface.
- Connect up a Wally receiver with a bit of coaxial cable and a power source.
- Turn on the Wally and wait.
Seriously, three steps. That’s all it takes. Now, you know you want a Tailgater. But the real question is, which Tailgater do you want?
Tailgater
This is the base-model Tailgater. You can recognize it because it’s the one with the white outside covering. (We call that a radome.) It supports one Wally.
Tailgater Pro
This is the Tailgater Pro. You’ll recognize it by its eye-catching transparent case. But that’s not the only thing special about the Pro version.
The real differences
There are two differences, and they’re important. The first is that transparent case. It’s not just for show. It will help you choose the right place to put the Tailgater unit. You’ll get an idea where it needs to be in order to get a view of the satellites. It really makes a difference where in the country you are. In San Diego, for example, it’s going to point close to straight up. In Maine, it’s going to point a lot closer to the horizon.
When you have some idea where the dish needs to point, you can identify problems. Do you need to move the Tailgater? Does it need to be up higher? It’s a lot easier to know when you know where it’s aiming.
The other difference is just as important. The base model Tailgater supports one Wally. The Pro version supports two. Does that make a difference for you? If you’re just using it to watch one game, it might not. But if you’re looking at the Tailgater as a permanent addition to your RV, it just might. You’ll want that second receiver so you can watch in two different parts of the RV. Remember, not everyone wants to watch the same thing.
Bottom line: Base model is white and one receiver. Pro model is transparent and two receivers.
