Can you carry a Dish Receiver like you can Direct TV?
My friend wants to carry a satellite dish with him to tail gate parties. I used to have Direct TV, but now I have Dish Network. Can Dish be carried? Also, with Dish, I have only one receiver for the entire house vs the two I had with Direct TV. This means if he takes it on the road, I have no TV. Also Dish requires a hard phone line connects which would be lost on the road. Anyone have any idea how to make this work during football season? We only have a week to figure this out for him.
Thanks

Unfortunatly you arent with DirecTV any more. They have their new Sat-Go system that is a 17" screen with a reciever & Dish all in basicly a briefcase. But with Dish Network I dont think you have many options. Id go onto like eBay and buy an extra dish and you are definatly going to want to order a 2nd reciever from Dish Network.

You are going to need an extra Dish. Go to a local retailer and tell them what you're doing. Most of them will offer you a tripod to place the Dish.
As far as the phone line I wouldn't worry about it. Dish will sometimes send a signal to it just to check it. Just make sure you hook it back up as soon as you get back home.
