Dish Network's Tailgater brings you portable satellite TV, won't cool your beer (video)

When it comes to refrigerating beer and grilling burgers, you're on your own. If you're looking for satellite television in the back of your truck before the game (pictured), on the other hand, Dish Network's Tailgater can certainly help. First hinted at back in May, the ten pound box automatically locates satellite positions, offering up HD content on the go for owners of Dish's ViP 211k HD receiver. The box runs $350 and is apparently rather easy to set up, making it a pretty enticing option for those who absolutely need to watch a sporting event in the parking lot while waiting to get into a sporting event.

  1. Tailgating is a favorite past time of mine, other then setting up the DISH. It used to be my fathers job until I started working at DISH. Then it was all oh I can do it, so he can sit down and have a beer. Granted it only took me 15 minutes to get the perfect signal I was after, but there was always one thing that would trip me up. When the tailgater came out I was immediately drawn to it just because of how simple it is to use. Just point it facing south, hook it up and let it run the set up program. Now dad gets mad because I get to the beer first, and I don't suffer an ounce of frustration except when he stands in front of it.
