Sams Club has a couple neat little flat screen televisions that would look
great mounted in our cabin. The base on the ones I examined are nothing more
than weight to keep it from tipping over, it would be a cinch to remove it.
Add a set of rabbit ears to set on the deck, plug it into a small inverter
and we would be good to go.

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

It must really suck to be out on a boat and worried about how many
channels you could pull in with your "rabbit ears...on the deck."

Harry,
It sounds like he actually uses his boat and enjoy spending the night on the
boat. What kind of boat do you own and when was the last time you used it?

He has no idea of what it's like to spend a weekend on a boat...since he has
no boat.

Oh, he might go to a boat show somewhere (if he can collect enough aluminum
cans to pay the admission) and drool over the boats that others will some
day own, but he will never be an owner. The closest Hairy gets to boating is
occasionally posting ridiculous fabricated tales of imaginary boats he owns
and the fictional times he has spent on the water.

It's not Hairy's fault...it's those damn politicians that are constantly
scheming against him.
I wish he would invest a little of his recycling income on a good aluminum
foil beanie to deflect some of the bad signals his addled brain receives...

Maybe, but at least he IS out on a boat.

Something you cant ever say...

TV does come in handy for weather and storm reports. The Doppler radar from
TV stations helps, like on lake Ontario in upstate ny.. Many times you
are hours ahead, instead of waiting for coast guard reports on the VHF
radio.....
At Oswego NY, Wrights landing, one can get two to three stations
American, and several Canadian channels. Our boating friends, down in
Florida, do not realize how quick some dangerous waves come up, on the great
lakes.
