DirecTV streaming service

Is anyone here using the DirecTV Streaming for their tailgates?
I am wanting to buy a subscription and run it on two phones hooked to a projector and a monitor.
The DirecTV website says I can run two devices hooked to TV's simultaneously but I am wanting to know if anyone has actually done it without issue.
My plan is to run direct from the phone (running the app) to a projector and a monitor via HDMI adapter and a HDMI cord. Not using a FireStick or whatever.
Is this workable or am I going to find out on Saturday none of this works?

If you are trying to run it off of cellular data, you may have a lot of buffering with the amount of phones being used around campus.

Won't be on campus this week. Doing this at a place in Hammond with a bunch of folks.
Hence the question. I tried that on campus before and it is a definite No-Go.
For prior poster, the satellite dish will be in use at the tailgate on campus. Which is why I need a temporary alternative.

Then what’s the question?
Technically your plan will work, but the limiting factor is getting cell service with enough bandwidth to support it.
So if you can’t get around that by either sneaking on LSU’s wifi via direct/current connections or using Starlink, you are SOL

And in the OP I asked a couple of different questions. Not sure why the hostile response.

The reason you are getting the answers is bc in your title you have “ Tailgate Question”. So most will assume you will be tailgating on campus. Thus using cell data would limit your capability to run the devices you seek to run.
If you are not going to be on campus, can’t you just test the products at your house to see if it is possible to do what you want to do? Why wait until Saturday to test it?
Not trying to be a dick with answer. Years ago I bought the Tailgater from Dish. I set it up at my house before I went tailgating to make sure it worked and I knew how fast the set up went. It worked at my house and got a great signal. Therefore I knew it would work on campus before I got there.
