What's great about it: Easy to set up, unique product
What's not so great: cannot use as a plain reciever, due to location of power supply. You cannot turn the moniter off and just use the rcvr
Perfect for tailgaiting and overall portible applications. If use in the home, the built in moniter need to be used, as there is no way to turn of the only the moniter and only use the reciever attached to another television.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Very easy to set up, great picture and sound
What's not so great: Has to be in a clear open view of the sky
We bought this to take on a Thanksgiving trip to Tennesee in order for us
to watch the Carolina/Clemson football game. We did not have sat. tv or
a descent size television at the cabins we rented. So this was a god send
for me . The price was also great. Directv wanted $999 for the Sat go
verses Best Buy's $499. Highly recommend this product.

What's great about it: Great concept
What's not so great: Doesn't work in the city
After waiting over a month on back order I finally received it.
I couldn't get so much as a blip of programing. I even put the satellite next to my house dish and it wouldn't work. So in the box it went and back to the store. I will wait for the technology become more advanced. I also talked to a man who said he bought one and it wouldn't work at his campsite because of a tree branch.
I did find it was bigger and heavier then I had realized. I would not want to have a far walk from the parking lot to my hotel room lugging this around.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
