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! ;)

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 :p,

They're thinking of making diesel from Irish pigs these days :D 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.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Only on a Camel.

It gives the Police the right hump.

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!
