Low Profile Satellite TV Antennas for Vehicles

Posted by chrisd on from the useful-for-rvs dept.

Brian Mattis writes "CNN is reporting a new antenna system that allows SUV's, minivans and cars to receive DirecTV video and audio programming on the road. Future plans call for internet access as well. This could be a nail in the coffin of Sirius and XM radio."

    More consumerism: The antenna system will cost roughly $2,000 to $2,500, and the satellite programming will be less than $10 a month.

    Wow, everything is so cheap nowdays. Well, no matter the cost, I must have it if you're going to get one.

    ok, i have something to say to whoever modded me down. What are these comment sections for? they are for people to state their opinion. What did I do? I STATED MY FREEKING OPINION. Just because i didn't add detail doesn't mean the comment is overrated. Whoever runs this site better get some new moderators - the current ones suck.

    no argument there - i'm not the greatest person ever.

    thank you to whoever modded me up again - and sorry for saying "they suck" - not all are so stupid, and it's not sucking, i guess, just a really bad logical approach towards modding comments intelligently and neutrally (not taking sides on linux/MS topics - which happens WAY too much. i just got modded -1 flamebait for saying MicroSoft is better than linux (flamebait, maybe as in "what do you think is gonna happen on slashdot???") but it shouldn't have been -1)
