Dish with a tailgater. The tailgater will not work if there is a splitter between your black box (vip211z is my black box) and the tailgater. Basically the thing needs a direct coax line from the black box to the tailgater. There has been lots of discussion lately on how to find the splitters keystone installed and isolating the coax you need to connect direct to your black box. Search “satellite connection” or “cable splitters”. I currently have my direct line going thru a window using a flat section of coax (from camping world $12). The satellite finder app is a MUST - setup and making sure you have a clear line of site is easy with the app. I bought the $10 app -mainly because I did not search for a free app mentioned above.
