Directv: Sat-Go

[MacGyver]

This is so amazing, I was browsing the Direct TV website and saw this;

It is a satellite to go system, all in one carrier. It looks no bigger than my laptop case. Although, I would imagine it is probably heavier. Apparently, it is a television, satellite receiver and antenna in one. I am assuming the antenna it mentions is a digital one and is used instead of a dish.

This is actually really cool for people who are on the road a lot. Wonder what the costs are going to be.

Only a thousand dollars. Well to me right now, that is completely out of the question. But, it does sound pretty cool. It would be great to take to the park, while the kids are playing I could too. Here's the specs. I got them off DIRECTV: Sat-Go
