Tailgater setup
Hello all. I have devised a system to get my tailgater a little more than roof high, and can have it deployed and aimed in 10 minutes. Nobody can easily steal your dish, nobody can park or walk in front of it.
My question is, would anyone be interested in purchasing? I make them myself, I estimate the price to be in the 195.00 range all in.
It's unlike anything out there.

People aren’t going to buy this without seeing what they are getting. How can they see a picture and a description. You can’t sell one of a empty basket or one that would covered up.

Using the 2" Flagpole Buddy on our ladder and a 6' long two inch dia aluminum pole with an aluminum plate bolted to it ... has worked for me with our Pathway X2 ... is yours similar?

Do you also have something for your equally ancient VHS player? Most of us I imagine are using internet now.

Tailgater
You are right about someone stealing my dish, but if you would just take the time and post a few pictures of the system, maybe everyone else will see it and maybe buy it from you. But pictures work great. I still learning about the tailgater and how to point it, one person said one thing and another person said something different. Any help in that area would be great.
Looking to see some pictures soon.

We have Dish TV. Download the Winegard app from Google play store. When you use it you hold your phone up to the sky and you can actually see the satellites. Aim your dish. This really helps to avoid trees and other obstructions. Works for over the air TV signals too so you can aim your TV antenna.

The handle is to be pointed North. Also you must look in the south direction to see if you have any obstacles blocking sight of the satellites. At times, when mine was on the ground, I would get only a couple of satellites or none at all. I would put it up on the roof and I would get a good signal.

The best way to start if you have obstruction is with a phone app. It shows the satellites in the sky so you can see what is blocking its view. The one I use is SkyView Lite but there are many more and like mine most are free.

Here you go guys. I posted this a couple years ago and then deleted the post for obvious reasons I have dated photos.
I've been involved with other forums to realize that there may be variations of it now but here it is.
Sorry it's sideways!
