Putting up and outdoor TV

I will have an Apple TV (Netflix and SEC+) but for locals should I go with a Antenna or a wireless Directv box?

Need some recommendations on my outdoor setup. I will have a TV (50”) on the wall would like to have 2 speakers in each corner (approx 10’ on each side of the TV) and possibly a sound bar under the TV.

I would like the option to play music on the speakers and also the TV audio as well. Don’t think I would ever need to split them up (Tv on sound bar and music on speakers)

And suggestions on what to go with: TV, speakers etc.

Also thinking of going with a wireless Directv Box (main box would be about 15’ from wireless box in the room above it) so I am hoping signal issues wouldn’t be a problem. Hard to run a coax cable down the exterior wall. Anyone have success with this?
Haha

I just want to hear
Tooooooouuuuuuuuucccccccccchhhhhhhhh

Yes sir
That was a rumored subject at the time. Didn't want to speculate
Hearing it is coaching related.
Why do that as a special announcement though?

Arkansas (a similar, if not colder climate than LSU) has a beautiful infield. And they also practice and play on it.

The cold weather isn't it. Our outfield looks great. Had to be the amount of sunlight it gets and certain parts of the day.

Infield grass

Why do we suck at growing grass and keeping it from dying every single year?
This isn't about safety. If workers thought they were putting their lives at serious risk everyday when they went to work they would find another job.

This is about the USW losing power and membership. They are wanting more Union jobs so they can collect more dues and keep the union going.

If these facilities were as unsafe as they are claiming they would be shut down by OSHA/ DEQ/etc. There was a need for Unions 30-40 yrs ago...... Now not so much.

And the sad part is they will go back for less than they left. These refineries will run (better than before) and won't miss a beat. The union has zero leverage. No one feels bad for some who walks away from a job where they make <$100K/ yr. And the raise they get won't make up for the money they are losing right now. A bad situation for everyone involved.

Also don't rule out the fact that the USW were big donors for the Democratic Party. With Obamas run coming to and end this may be a tatic to drive gas prices up and have the government intervene to gain momentum into 2016.
I remember him with Saul early on this season.

Who was that is he car? I remember seeing him early on but not sure who he is.

It is actually opposite, the away team determines if Fox or CBS covers the game. With the exception of this cross flexing rule.

Fox and CBS have the ability to trade games. I noticed an AFC team playing on the road a few weeks back and the game was on fox.
So will this give me access to the SEC digital network as well? Thinking about baseball games. Assuming everything that was on geaux zone will be on the digital network now?
What is the deal with the online portion? Will you have access if your cable provider has and agreement with the SEC Network? Or will it be like ESPN 3 and you Internet provider will need to have an agreement?

Or can anyone subscribe? Like GZ?
Did this 2 days ago. Took me 1.5 hours but that was mainly due to me holding conversations with them and not demanding stuff. I do this about every 5-6 months and always get good deals. Just have to be nice and ask.

This time the promotions dept didn't do great but when I asked about my contract length and how much the cancellation fee was I got to retentions and thats where it all happens.

My last offer of credits etc had run out so I called. Also wanted to use the SECN as a tool before any agreement is reached. Ended up with this:

$200 VISA gift card
Sunday ticket Max for $90 total
Showtime free for 4 months
$5 off HBO and Sports pack
MLB free for the rest of there year.
And an additional $5 of for 24 months.

I did have to agree to a another contract for a year (mine was up in October 2014). Now my contract is up in July 2015.

Wont leave because I have to have the ST living away from La. Hoping they come to an agreement for the SECN. If not I will watch online.

So would the SEC network be regional or national? Kind of worried because I currently live outside of SEC country.
