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.

    Someones always gotta get all politically correct huh?

    How about the closet homo watching gay porn while jerkin the gerkin and gabbin on the phone with "CandyCain" down the expressway when he missed his off ramp colliding with the blonde do to spontaneous self inflicted "Pearl Neckless"?
