You could at least point out that a tuner for a computer is roughly $100.


I didn't bother because I think the ideal use is to carry a small library of
movies on DVD, which takes up next to no room.
Do you actually watch broadcast TV on the Cat, Jeff?

Sure, what's wrong with broadcast? Remember, we usually go out for 2 or 3
weeks at a time; we spend more than half of the summer living on board. New
England has the best TV weather reports in the country, and that alone makes it
worth having. Plus, the odd news or sports event, etc - there's nothing wrong
with staying in touch. Actually, the TV/VCR probably got more use for movies,
but we now have a little DVD player that will replace that.

It very common for 9 to 5ers to think that boating requires "vacating" the
normal routine. When you're retired, its just living aboard part of the time.
And besides, giving up the internet is a lot harder fro me than giving up TV.
