    True,

    I was just thinking of not having to set up the dish everytime I stop, positioniong the truck so that the dish can face south, etc. Also if there happened to be something on, that was only on when I had to be driving, I could record it while I was driving.:biggrin_25525:

    Save the money on the TV, converter box, etc. Subscribe to Netflix streaming and HuluPlus TV. Virtually anything and everything you'd want to watch available at your fingertips...most without commercials.

    Yes. It's the same as in a home satellite system. You purchase a programming package from Direct TV or Dish Network or Bell ExpressVu.

    Hulu sucks! I have a slingbox and unlimited data on my phone.

    I agree with you wholeheartedly. I love my Netflix.

    But there is a bandwidth availability and (sometimes cost) issue that makes internet-driven entertainment prohibitive or at least restrictive in many cases.

    Then there's that little probelm of taking 2 hours to watch a 1/2 hour program. (re-buffering)
    I'd rather stand on the passenger step during an all-out freezing rain-storm in my underwear and socks to align a satellite dish than screw with "internet TV" while on the road.
