Satellite TV in a moving car?

Hey all,

Hope I'm posting this in the right section.

I'd love to be able to get satellite TV in my Hummer H2 and I recently stumbled across a vehicular satellite antenna made by a company called Self Sat. There's a pic of what the antenna looks like here:

Does anyone know what my options are apart from this particular setup?

The flat dishes wont work as I want reception whilst in motion.

Any info would be fab!

My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.

Not seen that before, but certainly looks more compact than most of the competition.

With one of those brutes, I'd be concentrating on buying as much diesel as possible at the minute ,

They're thinking of making diesel from Irish pigs these days They reckon they're not edible. So what else can they do? Should be cheap.

Fuel is 'cheap as chips' on my end.

I've fired an email off to the company representing SelfSat in the UK for a quote so I'll share the figure with everyone once it comes in.

Nah it'll be a setup for passengers in the back seats to watch live TV.

We have no terrestrial programming in this country apart from state run propaganda. It's very 3rd world! Satellite reception does the trick!
