Today i'll be flying JetBlue to Florida so I have no choice but to watch D* on the nice little TVs in the headrests. I feel as if i'm cheating
Bah! TV is tv. Don't get too much of an attachment.
Besides on a small tv, all the PQ will likely look ok.
How does the plane's satellite dish stay pointed at the satellite if the plane is moving?
lol.. where you heading to, Disney?
Same way XM does in our cars.
Ft. Lauderdale for a much needed KID(S) FREE weekend.
That's cool, hope you have fun. If you need any info about the area let me know I'm only 30 minutes from Ft. Laud.
That's a great question! Why is it that if my dish on my house is out of alignment by one inch I lose signal, but a plane flying 200 mph across the country keeps a signal?How does the plane's satellite dish stay pointed at the satellite if the plane is moving?
It's not a dish, it's an antenna without a parabolic reflector. The XM example is perfect.
It's not getting the same signal you're getting at your house.
Why can't all of us get the signal with that "antenna" rather than a dish. It seems that would reduce a lot of service calls

E* in fact showed just such kind of antenna for cars not long ago, I don't think it was cost prohibitive, but if you don't have line of sight, you are still screwed. At least that was the impression I got. Airplane in the sky has no line of sight issue.
DirecTV already offers it. Whether of not it's cost prohibitive depends on whether you wear a top hat and monocle to dinner I guess. At $2995 it's certainly not cheap.
