Well we didn't really do it today, but recently we've added a Dish Tailgater to our arsenal of gadgets.
_It works great!_
We simply hook it to the receiver, plunk it in a likely-looking spot, power everything up and leave it alone for a half hour or so. If we're lucky and not trying to see through a bunch of trees we're automagically watching HDTV.
It helps to have a hand-bearing compass such as the cheapo Winegard to ascertain the probable tree interference; in our area the bearing on the sats is southwest, not Dish's "southern sky."
In a couple of parks in which the Tailgater couldn't hit all the sats at least SD was available.
