Tailgating with Direct TV	Can't Post

With football season around the corner, it is time to think about tailgating options. We have seen other tailgators with Direct TV systems and just wondering how to do it. We are already current customers at home. If we buy a new dish and receiver, how do we add it to our account and will it work? We also have local channels at home...will they work away from home as well? Just looking for input. Thanks.

First you need a generator for electricity.

Get a dish,then get a tripod to hold the dish.(I would put the feet of the tripod in buckets with cemet or weighted down so the tripod dosen't move)

Find the settings for the dish for the stadium's zip code.

Then just aim the dish to the settings and connect everything.

You will get your locals if you stay within range of the spotbeam they are transmitted from.

If you are traveling out of state you will lose the locals.

You just call Directv and add the reciever to your account.

Or you could just buy a new dish and take one your recievers from your house that you already have activated now.

Direct dosen't care how many dishes you own.
