I actually use the VHF antenna on top of the mast. Works quite well
(Marina del Rey, CA). Get some ghosting off buildings
(non-directional), but pretty strong signal. I have a Goldstone coax
switch, which switches in a small dummy antenna in case try to
transmit with switch in wrong position.

A few years ago, installed Samsung 17" tv/monitor on the wall. Plug a
small dvd player into it.

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?

Do you buy smallish LCD flat panel TVs and outdoor
antennas designed for mounting on a boat?

Do you make your own TV/Tivo by installing a
specialized video board into a PC and use that?

Do you just not HAVE any type of TV equip at all?

Thanks in advance
