    Anybody have any feedback on either Tracvision or Seatel for marine satellite tv. Especially the C3, new low profile dish from KVH? Thanks

    There really expensive , but work if you need TV at sea.

    If all you need is TV at anchor there is a "good enough" setup that works as the boat veers on anchor , but not for rolling situations.

    was just reading those encapsulated tracking satelite dishes came down in pricing to about 2500 euro's. mind you, thats only the antenna. here we got wireless digital tv now starting to cover greater areas. a 12v decoder with antenna cost 50 E plus 7 E a month, works great!
