Portable DIRECTV

Each year families across the country load up their campers, RVs, and pickup trucks with tents, camping gear, and lots of marshmallows to spend a little quality time in nature enjoying the outdoors. What is a guy or gal to do after they’ve hiked for a few hours, collected a handful of nature treasures along the way, and watched the birds fly around for hours? Watch a little DIRECTV of course.

Summer camping can be fabulous but missing the game or catching it on a radio just doesn’t fit the bill. I stumbled upon a little gem while I was scheduling my DirecTV HD DVR recordings online for our camping trip and fell in love at first sight. The DIRECTV Sat-Go is a portable TV system that can easily fit into any vehicle. Whether you are packing up your teardrop camper, the truck with your tents and gear, or getting ready for a tailgate party this satellite-to-go system will be your best friend.

The Sat-Go is a receiver, antenna, and television combined into one unit. When I first saw this component my first concerned was size. I thought the unit might be too bulky to fit among my camping gear but was delightfully surprised to discover that it has a relatively small footprint. With the unit in the closed position it is 19.5” wide, 5.1” high, and has a depth of 19.5”. The unit has a built-in handle making it easy to carry and only weighs 27.2 pounds.

Image quality is not an issue with the Sat-Go. It comes complete with a 17 inch LCD monitor. Three millions cells make up the LCD Panel. Pictures can be watched in normal, zoom, or wide screen mode. This unit has component and composite A/V inputs and composite A/V out to easily hook up additional equipment on the go. Sat-Go has five preset color tones which can be selected to display pictures under certain settings. Viewers can modify contrast, brightness, sharpness, color and tint settings making this unit very customizable.

Two speakers come integrated into the Sat-Go. Users have the ability to set the television up to automatically switch audio whether the program uses Dolby Digital audio or an alternate language. Sat-go has two languages settings, English and Spanish, and comes with eight closed caption settings.

A small IR remote can be used to select channels or make menu changes. The Sat-Go makes it easy to control the content that you would like to watch including giving you the ability to select Pay-Per-View movies or programs. An added benefit of the unit is the Parental Controls. You won’t have any need to monitor your children’s viewing while you are gathered around the fire with the adults.

The unit also has the ability to easily sort through programs using the category and search functions that DirecTV subscribers are already familiar with. The Sat-Go is like taking a little piece of home with you while you are vacationing, on the beach, or at the campsite. A clear view of the southern sky is all that is needed to get good quality television from anywhere your adventures find you.
