I have a DIRECTV satellite and HD receiver. How do I go about setting it all up while tailgating? What else do I need? TIA

you'll also need a TV IMO

Probably a stand or something unless you put the tv on the ground

You will need the proper cables to connect the TV to the Dish

Do you know the correct azimuth and degrees to target the satellite?

1. Go to dishpointer.com, type in Louisiana State University in the location
2. Drag the icon on the map to exactly where your tailgate is
3. Pick the satellite you want to point to
4. Copy down dish setup data in bottom righthand corner
5. Take your dish and move your dish to the elevation and tilt you wrote down
6. Point your dish to the green line on the map
This will put you extremely close and then you can use the signal strength meter of the receiver to get you dead nuts on.
