We are going to start tailgating this year and was looking to get the equipment picked out. I have a dish account but one of the other guys with has has directv so we are pricing out both systems and see which one will be better.
Based on my early research it seems the must have these days is a swm enabled system. Any specific recommendations about dish/receiver hardware for a tailgate setup? Also when browsing solid signal they have a note in there that all new receivers require a 2 yr commitment. I assume that means we would have to reup his contract? That might be a deal killer because neither of us want to reup a contract with the SEC network on the horizon and neither company having committed to having the channel at launch (both of our contracts are up in august 2014). We both want to wait and see who is going to add and move to whoever does.
