A friend of mine just bought a new deck boat and wanted me to ask you guys if anybody makes a Sattalite TV system for boats. Guess he want's to watch the Sunday games on the water.

Whew. For a minute there, I thought you were talking about SATELLITE television.

You would need a power source like a generator or a converter with plenty of battery power and you could install a set up like they do in RV's. Those motion antennas aren't cheap though.

KVH makes some cool stuff, it's pricey though.

Not small or inconspicuious, though...
The flat dishes are usually kind of large and fit between the luggage racks ontop a vehicle..
If this is going on a large ocean going vessel, like a 50-80ft pleasure fishing boat, the G8 would be optimum with the g4hp being miimum.. My thought is fishing deep in Mexico...
Goodluck

We have the KVH on our houseboat. It works great even underway. It is 12V.
