Such products have been around for a while. All are fairly
expensive and won't work well in motion. But I'm sure
that it won;t be long until such systems will be cheaper and
more reliable on a moving vessel.

The folks at http://www.cyclonecom.com/ have apparently hooked up a
system to allow high speed internet and television from the same dish on
an RV that's currently touring the US. See http://www.fieldtripusa.net/
for details. The newspaper article that told this story indicated the
product worked good at automatically acquiring satellites. It wouldn't
work on a moving boat, but could probably be set out on a dock at a
marina. I sure do think there could be a market for such a product...
