I know, that's exactly what I do. I have a $300 Hisense ghetto TV with a roku stock and the Comcast streaming app that we kept inside (for this purpose) and on the 3-4 nice days a year in Chicago we had I just carried it outside (it weighed probably 20 pounds) and plugged it in on our patio to watch the Cubs while I grilled and the kids played outside. I felt exactly like the guy grilling in the picture.
