Adding Satellite dish

[Don Bradner]

It is a tough decision. The compromises with an in-motion unit are significant -
they always work less-well than an open-face unit. Why? Because with satellite,
dish size is important, and in-motion have the smallest dishes of them all.
However, if reception while under-way is an important criteria the compromise
may be worth it.

For me, I decided 3 years ago, which was prior to my BB days, that I would not
buy any more TV items for home or coach that was not HD-compatible. For DirecTV
that would have ruled out in-motion as well, although it is at least technically
possible to do in-motion TV with Dish network.

For in-motion listening Sirius or XM does the job nicely.
