First time caller, short time listener. I've tailgated many times with others but setting up my own rig this Sat. Thinking about taking a TV. I have a generator and want to know the best/cheapest way to get a signal. How do you pros do it?

If you get a solid HD antenna you can pick up like ABC, CBS, NBC and several others depending on where you are but there's no guarantee. May not be able to pick up that much in Athens.
You can also log into watch espn or your TV providers web site and stream live TV on a mobile device which you can in turn hook up to a TV; The problem with that is you must have a strong enough signal for it to work and you kill your data.

DirectTV-Very easy with their SD dish and tripod, more difficult to get using their HD dish. Just bring receiver from home (make adjustments if not using HD dish).
Dish-Can use SD or HD dish or use their Tailgater ($400ish) unit.
If you use one of these two already at home or a friend does go that route.
Streaming gets way more complicated, has delays and signal issues. I know one person that uses slingbox and Tethers his phone..somewhat successfully.

I use the WatchESPN app on my phone, plug in a HML to HDMI cable between the phone and TV and the phone screen is now on the TV. The resolution will depend on the quality of the phone and signal strength. I can also use the Charter app as well.
Different phones will require deferent interface cables. I used one GB of data tailgating during the Tenn game (est 9a.m. to 4 p.m.)
