You're right
I just bought a boat 46' trawler. We were sailors for 25 years.
Then I went out and bought a sat antenna, i'ts being installed now.
I'm not sure why I did it. Just to get 150 channels of rubbish.
But you need it to get High Definition channels and I like PBS
progamming.
Who knows...

I know there are lots of folks that use Satellite TV when cruising. I've
looked up the little while receiver 'bubbles' and found they were $5000.
Not in my budget! How can I receive satellite TV while aboard & at
anchor?

If leaving the USA, how far south through the Bahamas and to the islands
will I be able to receive signal?
