Anyone ever tried it? It’s DirectTV you can stream over your cell service that doesn’t use your data. Wonder if cell service is enough out on campus to do it.

We have trouble getting a steady signal with a direct satellite hookup

I know it can run off a mobile hot spot from AT&T but of course this wasn’t at a LSU tailgate.

You can only access it as a student or staff member. Regardless, it doesn’t work well in open areas that are not directly next to a building. Most of the routers are in interior hallways.

Cell services is spotty at best and campus wifi wasn’t that great outside the buildings when I was there 2 years ago. You’d be better off bringing a satellite.

ETA: And you have to be staff or student to access wifi.

I guess it's time to retire my flip phone.

So we need to pay off a student or staff member

On campus you’re having problems?

Nearly every tailgate out there knows a student or employee they can get the password from so it always has too much traffic to consistently work

It would probably work fine early in the day, but cell service goes to crap an hour or so before the game...
