ours has a had a couple of hicups lately. Overnight dish does an automatic update on the hard drive for the reciever and it shuts down and re-boots going through the check switch and locking onto the sats again. Twice now the tailgater will not "lock on" even though we are showing strong signals on the built in meter on the receiver but still no picture. Each time it has done this I have fixed it by changing the coax cable. I have 3 50' cables and just by swapping them out it starts working again. Not sure if it's a bad connection or just me manhandling the tailgater unit while changing out the coax but either way it starts working again.
We have had ours for 3 months now and besides the instances above have really enjoyed it.
