I've been using my DirecTV dish at tailagates for a few years now and have has no problems receiving ESPN and the movie channels, but receiving my local channels is a problem.
I live in Goose Creek SC 29445, suburb of Charleston. DirecTV finally offered us the local channel option about two years ago, installer came out and installed a separate dish, apparently my locals are coming from a different satellite. I've attempted a few times to locate my local dish while tailgating but have had no success. I'm assuming that if I wish to simultaneously receive the local and "ESPN" signal while tailgating I will need two dishes, one pointing at each satellite. What next? Do I need to have the separate signals going into a multiplexer? Will my receiver then automatically recognize the two different signals? Please pass along your knowledge. THANKS!!!!!!!!
