Wondering if anyone brings a satellite dish to their tailgate? What service is used and how did you get your dish? I dont have dish at home i have charter, so i didnt know if i could just order service and just use it at the tailgate, or buy one used and buy the service? Just looking for any insight.

I have a portable dish I bought from a local satellite place for about $75. It's a directv 300 satellite, so no high def, but it works. I have directv now, but I used to use it with dish. I just yank a receiver out of the bedroom and take it with me. There's no extra charge, just have to have the service.

You can get everything you need from either Directtv or dish network except the tripod. They usually offer up to 4 rooms free with new service. I just take a spare bedroom receiver with me in our rv. You can have your dish for games & cable for home, but, IMO, there's no need to pay for both all year.

We do the same thing. It is an easy set-up and we get the games all year long. We have Dish Network.

I use a dish that I purchased from the Direct people. I just unhooked one of my receivers from my house and all you need is power. Remeber you'll need two receptacles; one for the TV and one for the receiver.

Dish Network ViP211 receiver (with HD channels) used with VuQube (http://www.wallacet.com/vuqube/). This eliminates the need for a large Dish and TriPod. Only downside is that today, it can only lock on one Sat at a time (110,119, etc..) for either Dish or DirectTv. You can pre-program two satellite positions though but you can swap between those two with a provided remote.
