Yes you do. They have a program where you can pay only for the months you want/need service. No contract required. We use this during the summer months while camping.

The simple answer is yes. You have to either be a DISH subscriber and add this receiver to your account (about $7 a month as I recall) or use the month to month subscription that some RVers use. You can stop and start as you like but will be charged for that particular month that you use it.

Yes you need to subscribe to DISH. But you can do the monthly pay as you go plan. It is easy to turn it on and off as you need, no contract. If you are a traveler you just need to call them when you get to a new place. We love it!

Works only with dish network. Must use the receiver vp211k. I purchased as package. Since you have purchased the equipment, there is no contract. It is prepay monthly only.Hope this helps.

Yes, this is only for the hardware. Just like your phone, it's just hardware, won't work without a plan.

yes--it is a wonderful thing as it is small--easy to operate--and very functional

Yes you need a satellite dish adjusted to the correct direction, and a few other steps. Like before please refer to fta forums...

It works with Dish network or Direct tv. I use Dish Network, and when I move about in the motor home, I call Dish and tell them my new location so that I can get the local channels. There is no charge for this service.

I had this Winegard professionally installed on my motorhome. We use Direct TV. It has worked flawlessly and I am extremely happy with its performance. It has worked from AZ to MT. My installer said it would work With Dish Network. Check out some forums for better answers.

Will not work with Dish Network or Direct TV. It is for Free to Air (FTA) TV only.

I haven't tested it yet, but it says Direct TV on it, I have Dish, so I called and asked, Dish says DirectTV makes it for Winegard, but it will still work with Dish. I don't know if that answers your question, but I am 99% sure it will work perfectly for the company that made it, and it is supposed to be HD as far as I know

No sir. This is Dish Network. 2 major competitors are highly unlikely to make their equipment compatible with eachother.

It does not work with Time Warner Scientific Atlanta cable box, but never tried it with Dish. I believe that most of the cable boxes work at a different IR frequency. By now the manufacturer should have a list of units that work with the device, check with them.

No. You need a receiver compatible with the tailgater , not just any receiver. The tailgater is just the satellite dish antenna in an all-weather case . If you are a Dish customer you can add the tailgater perhaps as a "use as you go " account, so you can stop service when not in use. That option though is more expensive than contract.

No. This dish is only compatible with dish network. I know there are others compatible with direct tv but I can only answer for this one.

You must subscribe to the tivo service for the unit to work. An active subscription is required so that the unit can download the program schedule updates.

No, this equipment will only work with an authorized Dish account and activation. If you simply want to watch OTA programming, you only need an antenna, like the leaf or one of the terk products. If you want to record OTA programming, a TiVo will do that, or you can use a media center computer with pvr functionality.

No.... You must either initiate a contract with Dish or pay an additional $7 per month to add to your already established dish account

I am not sure I don't have Dish Tv. Plus I had returned since I didn't understand how to use it. My apologies.

You have to pay the service fee no matter who you buy it from. I purchased the unit because the dish units they install are not necessarily new and I went through 4 units from them, with varying results before I finally decided to buy my own equipment. I wanted to make sure I received a new one, with a warranty I could control.I purchased the units (Hopper w/Sling and Super Joey) from Amazon because they were brand new, and I paid less for both units than I would have paid Dish for just the Hopper w/Sling.
