CES 2007: DirecTV Announces Portable Satellite TV System

Posted by Chris Cardinal Categories: CES, CES 2007, Features, Home Entertainment, Portable Audio / Video,

DirecTV today officially announced the earlier-discussed Sat-Go portable satellite TV solution. The Sat-Go! system, despite its… exuberant name, includes an integrated 17” LCD display and a detachable tuner that can be used as your primary set top box when you’re not slummin’ in your RV. For an extra $4.99 a month, you can mirror your existing programming package through it, which isn’t terrible if you love to camp but hate to miss the game. Or something.

The New York Times is reporting pricing coming at between $1,000 and $1,300 when it launches in the Spring, which is great because DirecTV hasn’t released any pricing details yet. It may seem like a lot, but it’s a small price to pay to keep up on all that NASCAR, am I right?
