Directv in HD on a Tri-Pod- Difficult to get the signal?

Sorry, I went standard def when they told me that a couple years ago

45 seconds, really? Could I borrow your expertise for 45 seconds on, say, the Friday the 11th of September just outside of Tiger Stadium? Impressive indeed

we never got it to work on campus either. Lots of people have it working, for the life of us could we get it to work. Going to use an HD antenna and say screw it.

Buy this at Radio Shack. Make sure it works with the HD Reciever? You can find a signal in less than a minute.

Unless you just have to subscribe to NFL Sunday ticket, Dish Network has much better HD equipment than Directv and the Dish Network HD Dish is much smaller and a lot easier to align. Both the New Orleans and Baton Rouge HD Locals are on Satellite 129. You can easily align the Dish 1000.2 which receives satellites 110, 119 and 129. As long as you have your pole on your tripod perfectly plumb, and the correct skew and elevation settings on the dish, a simple azimuth adjustment and you'll be watching all your favorite HD channels while tailgating. A perfect Dish Network HD Receiver for tailgating would be a Model 211k. It's very small and doesn't take a lot of room to pack in your truck or SUV.

I definitely will buy a signal finder. I also have some sand bags from Cabela's that are used for holding down tents. I don't want this thing to budge at all when the wind picks up. I am glad you guys are confident that this isn't really that big a deal. Thanks for the advice

it's a heavy duty tri-pod.
