What is it?DirecTV Sat-Go.
How much will it cost me?
$1,499.
Who makes it?
DirecTV.
Why should I care?
Do you like to tailgate? Now you can party in the parking lot and still stay on top of gridiron action from around the country.
How would you describe it?
Anyone who takes their TV watching very, very seriously knows that
going on vacation isn’t relaxing--it means that you have to worry about
whether your DVR will record your shows. Portable TVs are good in a
pinch, but they only pick up broadcast TV. I can’t be tethered to
cable, but with DirecTV Satellite-to-Go I can tune in from almost
anywhere. You get an actual satellite dish and a 17-inch LCD monitor to
watch anything DirecTV provides, in a high-tech looking suitcase that's
smaller in size than an overnight bag, A rechargeable battery powers
the unit if you’re not near an AC or DC power supply, but you'll only
get about an hour’s worth of viewing time, so plan accordingly. Final
note: if you consider standard def roughing, please note that this is
SD only, not high-def.
When can I get my hands on it?
Now.
Where can I find it?
DirecTV.com.
What's your verdict?
Try.
