    DishNetwork Service for Tailgating

    That is exactly what I did. The promotion isn't sold by Dish Network anymore and retail stores (Radio Shack) is supposedly not selling them anymore. So they walked me through this plan and it fits my needs the best. Essentially after paying for the equipment (free but they still charge a $149...

    DishNetwork Service for Tailgating

    Is that through DishNetwork? Do I have to buy the receiver through them or can I just get the prepaid account through them. That is exactly what I am looking for but have had issues in talking to them to try and let me do something like that. Any more information would be awesome... this is...

    DishNetwork Service for Tailgating

    I'm looking to set up a TV at a tailgate but don't have DishNetwork at home (not enough foresight!). So I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions as to what type of service would best fit my needs. I'm only planning on using the TV on the weekends for 3 months. Does anybody have any info...

    Rookie Looking for Advice Setting Up a Tailgate

    Thanks for all the help so far. I'll be ordering my equipment tomorrow and hopefully will be ready to roll on Sept 12. But I do have one other question. Does everybody use DishNetwork to get their service? What do you guys pay to get service? I just called them up and they said that to...

    Rookie Looking for Advice Setting Up a Tailgate

    Thanks and sorry for so many questions. I've gotten a lot of people excited about tailgating this year and don't want to fall flat on my face with this setup. So it sounds like I should acquire a VIP 211, Dish 500, and a good set of rabbit ears/antenna to try and pick up local HD? Once...

    Rookie Looking for Advice Setting Up a Tailgate

    So with the Dish 500 I'll be able to pick up ESPNHD at home games and that is pretty much it? I'd like to get as many channels as possible with the least amount of hassle, especially since I am very new to this. It sounds like I should get the Dish 500 from the posts, is that right? Is there...

    Rookie Looking for Advice Setting Up a Tailgate

    Awesome to see a UGA grad here. I hope you don't mind a few specific questions. We've been tailgating on North Campus in front of the Main Library and want to bring our tailgate up a notch. Any idea if you can get a clear line of sight? I've seen other satellites so I assume so. Just...

    Rookie Looking for Advice Setting Up a Tailgate

    I called DishNetwork today and tried to see what they could offer in terms of mobile TV watching and they were pretty clueless. But if I own the receiver/satellite it is easy to get service from then on a temporary basis? Also, we'll be tailgating in Athens, GA and most likely at UT...

    Rookie Looking for Advice Setting Up a Tailgate

    I just graduated from UGA and am looking to go back in the Fall to tailgate as one should. I've gotten a few friends together to fund the tailgate and together we've purchased a generator (Honda EU2000), speakers, tents, tables, etc. All we need is a way to watch the games out there and that...
