Best buy on Tailgater!

Ordered yesterday, delivered today, $322 + $20 shipping, tax included. $342 total. About $50 less than the closest competitor. I am a happy camper.

That is a good price. I got mine on Amazon last year for about that but it's was the old receiver.

I haven't priced them since last year but for that price I would expect a receiver. I know we paid around 300 with receiver. Not sure what difference the new receiver makes but we did get the old one. Maybe that's why it was cheap.

I have had mine for almost two years and I got it from a Dish dealer in Jacksonville, FL, for $199 which included the Tailgater, the receiver, 50' of cable and remote. I also didn't pay the 8.25% sales tax because I am in Texas the they were in Florida. The catch, you have to sign up for two years and pay the $40 plus per month for the full two years before you can go on the pay only for the months you use plan. It will not work for everyone. Good Luck
