Bigger than what? Our present boat is a Gibson 50 that displaces 22 tons, when fueled and loaded, and we often stay on it for a week at a time. Does that qualify as "bigger"?
We have a sat. dish, of course, but rarely use it. If we want to watch movies, we play a DVD or download a movie from iTunes. I use this MacBook to "stay connected". My point is that none of this has anything to do with boating or being on the water. We may as well be at home.
We are buying a second boat...a Sundowner 290 in a few days, and were discussing how to equip it when we came to the subject of TV's. I'll think we'll just put a UHF/VHf marine antenna on the thing and be done with it.
