Portable Satellite Dish

Get a portable satellite dish and watch TV in your RV, on the road, or anywhere.

Television has become such a staple for American families during the last fifty years.  Once where there was three stations, there's now over three hundred!  There's simply a station for everyone. 

If you want to watch something, you can probably find it on the fancy satellite television systems. And now for those of you that can't be away from your television sets for even a moment, now you don't have to!  Just go and find yourself aportable satellite dish. 

That's right, your satellite dish doesn't have to stay at home when you want to go out and about.  Now you really can take it with you!

Thanks to modern technology, you and your family can now enjoy satellite TV in your vehicle, either while driving or while you are parked.  Portable satellite dishes can not only receive satellite TV signals, they are also able to track and lock onto transmissions while your vehicle is moving. 

Portable dishes (which have to be placed on top of the vehicle) will usually have a plastic dome for protection from the weather.

The actual installation of a portable satellite dish is pretty much the same as your one at home. The dishes are generally sold pre-assembled and come with a control unit. All you will have to do is attach the unit to the roof of your vehicle and wire it.

When installing the dish you will also have to bear in mind the height it will add to your vehicle, for clearance purposes.  You certainly don't want to be in the middle of your favorite episode of MURDER SHE WROTE and drive under a bridge, knocking off your dish!

But what if you want a REALLY portable satellite dish?  Like one that can even fit your briefcase or purse... that's right YOUR briefcase or purse!  Well welcome to the 21st century! 

DIRECTTV has a portable satellite dish known as Sat-Go that resembles a large, 27 pound laptop computer. It's a complete satellite TV system with a 17-inch monitor, satellite dish, receiver, rechargeable battery, and AC/DC adapters for your car. All you do is plug it in, line up the antenna, and you're in business.

With Sat-Go you can get satellite TV while you're away from home AND your vehicle.  You can keep track of all the football games on NFL Sunday while camping, laying out by the pool, or even tailgating at your favorite team's stadium.  How awesome is that?!

The wonderful complete Sat-Go system can be purchased for less than $1,000 at major electronic stores like Best Buy, or your favorite online store.

Before you can begin watching TV you will have to get a subscription to the satellite TV provider, just like you would with a normal system. Most popular satellite TV companies offer portable satellite dish packages.
