Connecting to a DISH Tailgater
CONNECTING TO A DISH TAILGATER
The 211k receiver supports the mobile antenna, DISH Tailgater, providing you with your
satellite programming while away from home. For detailed and up-to-date information on
setting up a Tailgater, please see the Quick Start Guide and the Tailgater User’s Guide
that came with your Tailgater mobile antenna.
While setting up the Tailgater, please keep the following in mind:
• Do not stand or walk in front of the side of the Tailgater facing the southern sky while
setting it up. Make sure the handle of your Tailgater antenna is pointing North.
• If instructed during set-up, contact DISH at 1-800-333-DISH (3474) to authorize your
receiver.
• If your receiver has not been used for awhile, it may need to be re-authorized.
Contact DISH at 1-800-333-DISH (3474) and follow the prompts to re-authorize your
receiver. If channel 101 appears, channel up or down to ensure everything is working
as expected.
1 Using the instructions that came with your Tailgater, connect and set up the Tailgater,
receiver, and TV.
2 Follow the on-screen prompts. When asked to connect to a phone line, select No. It is
necessary to select No two times. If you are using your ViP 211k receiver for the first time,
you may have to complete the on-screen Installation Wizard as detailed in Connecting to
Your DISH Antenna on page 86. If you are unable to proceed through Step 2 of 5 in the
Installation Wizard, relocate your Tailgater antenna to a location where there are no
obstructions of the southern sky.
