Dumb question here..... but Im not a boater or sailor

Im curious as to what "specific" equip most people use
to watch TV on their boats?

We can seldom pick up any sort of TV signal when we're cruising into the
more
remote locations in our part of the country.
We do have a small TV, with some rabbit ears.

I know of boaters who are *avid* sports fans and must watch particular
ball
games whether they are cruising or not. Some people install little
satellite
dishes on the radar arch and fiddle around aiming the dish. This works
better
at a float or pier and when anchored or on a buoy. When the wind or
current
changes the position of the boat, the satellite dish has to be reaimed.

We carry a stock of old VHF movies, and watch one sometimes. I think if a
person wants to spend all weekend watching TV, he or she might consider
staying
home. :-)



Agreed. My S.O. (who is about to become INsignificant) likes to wonder aloud
"Whattya do on a boat all day???" She'd die without cable TV.
