The Tailgater is limited to receiving only the three satellites Dish has in the western arc, which will limit your aiming opportunities on sites with large trees around. Western arc only will also limit local channel availability in some areas east of the Mississippi. In my opnion, Winegard's Pathway X2 is a better choice since it can use either the eastern or western arcs and also has a larger dish for fewer rain fade problems. The X2 also supports two receivers if you decide to go that route in the future for a second TV. It does cost a little more, but overall I believe it's worth it.
