The company I work for is setting up a tailgate Saturday and we would like to have direct tv and a large tv out there. Does anyone know of a place that rents the satellites and possibly one of those big inflatable screens?

I have a box and the service. Just need the dish and tripod. Was hoping there was a place that rented the whole package (dish, screen, cables, speakers) and set it up for you.

The boss man wants to be able to get ESPN. I'm surprised there isn;t a company around BR that does this.

+1
A lot of HDTVs these days have built-in antenna and the picture comes in pretty clear HD also. That would probably be the best solution.

If you have a 4g phone you can stream WatchEspn with your phone and connect it to the tv with an hdmi cable. I'm not from that area so I don't know if 4g coverage is available there

Don't do this. The towers get overloaded and your phone will be useless come gametime.
