I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just some QB that I used to know

Crossposting this from IYG.

I'd like to get into some FOOTBALL!!! tailgating this year and I'm curious to see how other people have their TV situation set up.

Specifically, I have questions about how to power it. I have a 37" Samsung LCD I'd like to use and ideally would like to find a rechargeable generate that will let me power it for ~5-6 hours. I'd also be open to getting a gas generator if that's a better deal. I think I could probably rent one, too, I'd just need to know what appropriate size to get.

Also, I'd need a signal. My initial idea was to just get an OTA antenna to catch whatever was on the local networks (I'm in Tempe, AZ, so tailgating for ASU games) but I'd love to hear how everyone else parties. If it matters, I have a 2014 Nissan Xterra that I could potentially run all of this out of as well and just have someone else jump me when the battery died but I don't know how long I can reasonable expect that to last.

You are definitely going to want to get a generator. You will want to actually turn it on before purchasing as they can range from really loving loud to only a slight background hum which can easily be drowned out.
