    Why not watch it on your computer?I seen this little gadget today at Walmart that you plug it in to your computer and receive 5000 tv channels.Which wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the ISP cost.Watching tv would use up all your time real quick if youre not unlimited I would think.

    Personally I think satellite TV would be a waste IF you plan on running hard. At the beginning of NASCAR every year the races are broadcast locally and you can pick them up with a digital TV along with a cheap antennae. How many of the roughly couple dozen races did I actually get to watch? About 4. Even though I tried every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I was always driving or sleeping.

    They broadcast football locally as well. Guaranteed to be watching football every Sunday. You just can't follow your favorite team.

    I recommend going with the satellite radio and getting a digital TV and and antennae to start. See how it goes. You may just be content with that. And after a while you may just learn that that's ALL the football you've got time for.

    Seen that to..a news guy up in Indy I think did a report on it and all it does is take you to the site to watch the show or to amazon to buy the movie..

    So its more or less just a gimmick to spend money you don't have?

    you cant get CABLE in a rig. Cable implies a, well you know CABLE!!!!. That would limit your ability to go any ware. many drivers get satalight or watch tv over the internet on their laptop. there are many option for on the go internet including milinicom. Several companies sell dishs for trucks and you can sign up for a satalight tv package.
