I believe its intended to be "motionless" to work properly. A rocking boat will probably keep the signal from locking on.

and I think to hook to the dish system it has to be pointed SE at all times

Overton's (and I imagine others) sells basically the same unit, but specifically designed for marine applications.

Sorry I dont have the link, but its under their electronics page.

No, it requires a set location and says it doesn't work on moving boats/rv's etc.. Here's a FAQ sheet on it: http://www.getthetailgater.com/pages/FAQ.html

I have a WineGuard in-motion and it works great. Got it at a RV place. Got it set up for Direct tv but you can set it up for Dish also.
