Digital or satellite TV

[dcunniff]

I have a friend switching marinas this year where cable isn't available.

He is thinking of satellite TV (like KVH or Raymarine units). I did a search here and didn't see anything in the past.

Anybody have comments on satellite TV hookups they have on boats, not likely on a Parker! He just moved up to a 42' used SeaRay.

One thing I haven't gone over with him is a digital/analog converter accessory to pick up existing digital TV signals on the simple TV antennas on some boats.

Thanks.

The GB Eastbay that I ran this past September had a pair of sat domes on it which gave us sat TV, radio, and Internet access.

Not sure what brand they are as the stickers were removed to keep the look of the boat clean. I like it that way. :wink:

Want me to try and get some of the spec's on that system for you?

Sure Kevin.

A common one from KVH looks like this, http://www.kvh.com/products/product.asp?id=136

Raymarine similar shape too, more expensive but doesn't need as many accessories, http://www.raymarine.com/ProductDetail. ... ODUCT=4150


More KVH's are out there.

Here is one of the pieces to go between a standard TV antenna and a TV to get digital signals, Winegard, more for trucks and RV's, http://www.winegard.com/mobile/dig_receiver.htm
