use your current account, and add a receiver. Then take a satellite and that receiver out to the lease.

I used to have a receiver on my account at my buddy's house, and he mowed my lawn every other week for the free tv on my account

**2165 Turbo Rail** · 11-02-2011, 07:40 PM

he's right. Dad has boxes at 4 different locations this way

**BlackSnake** · 11-02-2011, 07:41 PM

No freebie way to do it? Not that another reciever would add much.

**Silverback** · 11-02-2011, 07:43 PM

you can just take your receiver from your house you already have.

How would you expect to do it free? somehow the receiver has to go on your account

Naw, I'd rather get another reciever from them.

True.

I assume that I can use any dish (craigslist), or do I need to get one from them?

Tell me how this is done. Can I just get a dish and receiver off craigslist and hook it up out there, or do I need to go through Direct TV with my current account? And what about getting local channels in the lease area (Abilene).

just buy a receiver, extra dish, rig it up, have the receiver activated, boom done. I hooked it up at our deer lease in about 15 mins.

I believe the extra reciever is like 5/10 bucks a month, but how much for the extra dish?

**2165 Turbo Rail** · 11-02-2011, 08:06 PM

find a Direct dish on CL

**2165 Turbo Rail** · 11-02-2011, 08:07 PM

I have tried this and could not get it to work. I am wondering if the new receivers are married to the LNB's now days. Tried different one and could not get it to work.

DirecTV announces Sat-Go portable satellite TV system

http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/directv-announces-sat-go-portable-satellite-tv-system/

It took a little while, but DirecTV has finally made good on its promise of an all-in-one portable satellite receiver, officially announcing its Sat-Go unit at CES. Intended for both indoor and outdoor use, the Sat-Go packs a 17-inch LCD monitor into its flip-and-fold design, along with an integrated flat antenna that DirecTV says will let you find line-of-sight with DirecTV satellites "within minutes." Also included is a rechargeable "laptop-style" battery, although the company isn't making any promises on battery life just yet (it'll also run off your vehicle's cigarette lighter with the included adapter, or plain old AC power). While DirecTV hasn't officially announced pricing details, The New York Times is reporting that that the Sat-Go will come in between $1,000 and $1,300 when it launches this spring. Current DirecTV customers will also be able to mirror their service to the Sat-Go for an additional $4.99 per month. The Times also got word from Sat-Go inventor Rick Rosner (who just happens to also be the creator of CHiPs) that DirecTV already has some additional models in the works, including the Sat-Go Pro, with a ruggedized design for use in emergency situations, and the Sat-Go Light, which will weigh in at less than half the Sat-Go's 25 pounds. Those curious about the Sat-Go's various states of foldedness can check out a couple more pics of it in action after the break.Read - DirecTV Press ReleaseRead - New York Times, "Satellite Television in a Portable Box"

now the way to get this you have to already have direct tv service and you have to order on line while on the phone with customer service. its pretty cool cuz it is all in one system. so no extra satellite to dial in to get a picture and you could take it any place as long as you have a clear view to the southern sky.

**michaeldhayes** · 11-02-2011, 08:12 PM

also its not the expensive anymoe either.
