Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if he can solve the 2 big problems with satellite based service... expensive and slow.
Can you get decent satellite TV service on a boat? I would think that underway wouldn't be possible, but when anchored or in a marina can the auto tracking on a dish compensate for boat movement?
I never had one but had friends that had auto-tracking dish systems on
their boats. They seemed to work well while underway in the limited
areas in which I witnessed them.
I was El-Cheapo on my boats. I bought a portable dish designed for RV
use and mounted it on the upper deck behind the flybridge. I used it
regularly while at the slip for several years on the Navigator and also
on another boat I had briefly after we sold it. It worked amazingly
well, even in windy and choppy days with the boat moving around in the
slip and going through high and low tide cycles where the boat moved
upward or downward as much as 9-10 feet. It was very rare that the
signal briefly became too weak to interrupt the programming.
