==== Earlier satellite dishes ====
DISH Network's first satellite antenna was simply called the "DISH Network" dish. It was retroactively named the "DISH 300" when legal and satellite problems forced delays of the forthcoming DISH 500 systems. It uses one [[Low-noise block downconverter|LNB]] to obtain signals from the 119°W orbital location,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.Dishnetwork.com/downloads/pdf/user_guides_and_manuals/installation/117595_01_RV_Pointing_Table.PDF |archive-url=https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20080117031239/http://www.dishnetwork.com/downloads/pdf/user_guides_and_manuals/installation/117595_01_RV_Pointing_Table.PDF |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 17, 2008 |title=Dish 300 and 500 Pointing Guide |publisher=Dish Network |access-date=December 19, 2008 }}</ref> and was commonly used as a second dish to receive additional high-definition or international programming from either the 148°W or 61.5°W orbital locations.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/dish61_sid.html |title=Channels at 61.5°W |access-date=December 19, 2008 |publisher=Lyngsat |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217095710/http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/dish61_sid.html |archive-date=December 17, 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/dish148_sid.html |title=Channels at 148°W |access-date=December 19, 2008 |publisher=Lyngsat |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217095705/http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/dish148_sid.html |archive-date=December 17, 2008 }}</ref> The 119°W slot is one of two primary orbital locations, the other being 110°W, that provide core services.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/dish110_sid.html |title=Channels at 110°W |access-date=December 19, 2008 |publisher=Lyngsat |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217013237/http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/dish110_sid.html |archive-date=December 17, 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/dish119_sid.html |title=Channels at 119°W |access-date=December 19, 2008 |publisher=Lyngsat |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081219040945/http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/dish119_sid.html |archive-date=December 19, 2008 }}</ref>

==== Tailgater ====
The Tailgater is a portable satellite antenna; the tailgater can be purchased as a standalone device for $350. The Tailgater is compatible with the Wally and VIP211 receivers. Customers only need to pay for the period of time where the receiver is active on the account, the monthly cost for a Vip211 or Wally is $7 per month, if the receiver is the only one on the account, there is no charge.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gadgetreview.com/dish-network-tailgater-portable-satellite|title=Dish Network Tailgater Portable Satellite Weighs Just 10lbs|date=2 September 2011|access-date=14 August 2016}}</ref> It weighs ten pounds, is protected from weather, and automatically searches for a signal. The only satellites that are currently compatible with the Tailgater are at DISH's 119 (SD/HD TV), 110 (SD/HD TV), and 129 (SD/HD TV) orbital slots.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2392032,00.asp|title=DISH Launches 'Tailgater,' a Robotic Mobile Satellite TV Antenna|last=Hachman|first=Mark|work=[[PC Magazine]]|date=2011-08-29|access-date=2012-07-12}}</ref>

Hopper is a line of multi-tuner set-top boxes first introduced in 2012; they are digital video recorders that can be networked with accompanying "Joey" set-top boxes for multi-room access to recordings. DISH Network subsequently introduced updated versions of the Hopper, including Hopper with Sling (which adds integrated [[placeshifting]] capabilities), the Hopper 3, and the Hopper Plus <ref name=AllAmericanDish-hopperplus>{{cite web|title=Dish Network Hopper Plus|url=https://allamericandish.com/dish-hopper-plus/|work=All American Dish|access-date=15 November 2022}}</ref> which features [[4K resolution|4K]] support and 16 tuners.
