My wife and I plan to leave in a few months on our 42 ft trawler and do the great loop. We have started researching Internet and television options. I have found adequate level of information on StarLink here. I hadn’t even thought of it as an option but I went to a tailgating party with a friend this past weekend at a college football game and he set up his Dish TV receiver and flatscreen under the tent easily quickly and he says always dependably. I understand they have a configuration made for RVs but also used for boats? According to him those have sensors that keep it searching more regularly for the proper satellites given the boats motion. I just tried to do a search here and didn’t really find much of anything on DISH as an option which makes me think it isn’t worth my investigation? Are any of you using it or know those that have? If so I would love your thoughts as to whether this is an option we should consider.
