I know there has been numerous topics on this but im going to start another one. Im making an enclosed tailgaiting trailer and i am wonderfing how you go about satellite, is it as simple as getting a direct tv dish and a receiver from your house and hooking it up because i have a friend with the direct tv slimline dish that he doesnt use anymore

We caught CBS on an HD antenna this weekend.

We have an antennae for CBS and ABC games that works well in HD and then use iPhones for watch ESPN and put it up on the screen with apples HDMI adapter. It works but we would probably prefer a satellite once we procure more funds.

Pretty close to being that simple. I believe you'll need a guide for proper positioning of the dish but should be easy to find on the webz.

It's that simple. The first time you set up the dish will be the longest. Once you know where to position it and the correct angle, it's easy to set up in the same area at your tailgate spot each week.

Also look around and see where others have set their dishes. Can be really easy to nail down your position that way.

Yeah we have a directv dish and haven't had any issues. You need to ask someone around which way to angle it, though. This process can take a while but after the first try it isn't overly difficult. Good luck.

OT Baller Setup Here

We just got this setup for TV. Dad picked up the Tailgater, we split the cost of a 3K watt pure-sine-wave Kipor Run-Quiet generator and then I bring the 40" LCD I have at home.

We run the TV, the Box, and some fans using it and its an awesome setup.
