DIRECTV Wants To Enhance the Camping Experience

Remember when camping was all about spending real quality time with your family? I'm afraid those days are long gone now that the we can't go on a trip without packing iPods, PSPs, DVD players, laptops, and now DIRECTV Sat-Go (Satellite-To-Go). Yes folks, now you too can take your satellite TV on the road thanks to this all-encompassing carry unit that holds the first portable satellite TV system.

The brief case travel unit includes a 17-inch LCD monitor that can be separated from the casing for use in the home, an integrated DiRECTV Receiver, AC/DC adaptors, flat antenna, and rechargeable lithium battery. But at a whopping $1,499, which doesn't include the monthly subscription, you might as well just install a flat-screen in the car that plays HD-DVDs. If you're still interested, you can find a good review of the unit over at DBSTalk.com.
