    Hi everyone,

    I work as an engineer/technican for mainly computers and was asked by a friend of a friend on how and what is the best and cheapest way to have TV and Internet using a satellite antenna on a small boat. The boat is about 30M and has 2 domes either side with nothing inside, What is the answer please.

    Thanks for your help

    Go to the KVH website. You can do TV in one dome and then the mini V-sat in the other.
    We had an internet antenna put in before going down island by Alan and it worked quite well for pulling in WiFi.
