Default What is a useful tv-satellite dish on board?

We would like to have sat-tv on board for one or maybe two hours a
week watching.
We feel no real urge to buy this KVH Trackvision dish mushroom for
many thousands.
Anyone here with end-user experience with a system that manages to
keep a reasonable
connection at anchor but which is a bit cheaper?

Thanks and fair winds,
Len.


We have a regular Dish Network dish aboard. If you toss a stern and
bow anchor, and swing and bob less than 11 degrees it works well.
