TV PERFORMANCE
I can't believe that direct broadcast satellite television reception is so erratic when I'm just sitting at the slip and wanting to watch a ballgame. Does anyone make a stabilized direct TV marine antenna that isn't as big as the huge domes I see on 80-foot yachts?

The reception of satellite TV signals from a dish is extremely critical in both azimuth and elevation. Any slight movement of the dish will cause your TV signal to freeze. Good news comes from KVH Industries, the leader in marine and RV stabilized satellite TV antennas, with a product it calls Trac Vision Cruiser. Look at the photo and you can see me holding this under-40-pound system. I had it up and running within three hours, and the gyro-stabilized tracking dish antenna inside the white dome stays locked onto the television satellite whether in heavy seas or gently rolling at the dock. Check out the KVH satellite antenna at the next boat show.
