KING Introduces Two New DISH Antennas

KING recently introduced two automatic satellite TV antennas that view both Western and Eastern satellites for DISH programming. The new DISH Tailgater (model DT4400) and DISH Tailgater Pro (model DTP4900) antennas improve satellite signal reception in areas, such as the upper Northeast of the U.S.

“For years, I have watched mobile and automatic satellite technology improve through KING’s efforts. The original DISH Tailgater was a trailblazer in simplifying the use of satellite antenna technology in the outdoors,” said Matt Catlin, VP of sales and marketing at KING. “While still using the 110-, 119- and 129-degree satellites, these new antennas will also utilize the 61.5-degree satellite as part of DISH’s Eastern U.S. fleet, providing an alternate viewing solution to the 129-degree satellite. In other words, customers will benefit in some areas where they previously had only limited satellite coverage before or line of sight issues.”

The antennas have the same look, feel and core functionality of their predecessors – the VQ4400 and VQ4900 – with the added ability to look at the DISH 61.5- or 129-degree satellites for increased satellite signal availability.

The design is intended for portability or roof-mounting. It is fully automatic and works out of the box when connected to a compatible DISH HD Solo receiver. The design includes an exclusive interactive on-screen display for set-up for DISH programming.

Other features include:

  • Supports single or multiple TV viewing (depending on model)
  • Weather-resistant materials withstand extreme heat/cold
  • Single or dual coax output (depending on model)
  • Includes coax cable
  • Warranty: 2-year parts, 1-year labor

Compatible KING accessories include the:

  • Quick Release Roof Mount Kit (MB700)
  • Tripod Mount (TR1000)
  • Portable Satellite Antenna Carry Bag (CB1000)
  • Security Alarm for Portable Satellite Antennas (AL1000)
  • Portable Antenna Window Mount (MB500)
  • Cab Mount Bracket (MB160)

The DISH Tailgater antenna has a suggested retail price of $299 and the DISH Tailgater Pro has a suggested retail price of $379. The company will begin shipping the new antennas immediately.
