How do you watch tv?

The qualcomm is not a dish and it does not transmit on the same frequency that the dish and directv use.

 

Do you have to pay for a subscription to the channel you want to watch or have a "download fee?"

 

No, it is free.

I have heard of this "slingbox" from other users on here and they also like it. My question is what is the minimum connection speed required to watch this?

I drive team now and doubt the connection speed would be fast enough to keep the show going without buffering it every few seconds.

 

If you have Directv at home, you can also get a KLM sat dome and receiver for your truck, I think programming is like $5.00 a month after you purchase the system. However, I do hear the system is quite expensive.

i have a slingbox..its adevice that hooks to your HOME cable or sat. box...then hook in your home internet and whamo...its awsome..always watching my local channels..even operate my dvr to record what i might miss and watch later....all from my truck w/ my air card its even better 250 + channels in your truck.. ur payin for the cable # home..might as well use it on the road!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^^Thanks for posting that! I'll have to check that out.

When I need something to watch and if I have an internet signal I use a free program from google joost.

Lots of great stuff with that and the picture quality is excellent.

Also, you can now get an HDTV signal antenna that plugs into your laptop. I have not tried it yet but it seems worth the 100 bucks or so if you want regular TV on your laptop. The one I saw at the OfficeDepot even had a little remote control that comes with it.

 

Coming soon,

You will be able to watch TV threw your satellite radio.
