I'm sure this has been covered before, but with rapidly changing technology it probably needs a refresh.
The wife loves cruising, but she misses having decent TV to unwind to and wake up to when we're at a remote location. I'm a cord cutter at home that gets all my TV OTA or through Roku devices. I've never owned Dish or any other satellite system.
I've been holding out thinking hi-speed WIFI was going to proliferate more, but the places we go in Northern MI are very poorly serviced by WIFI or OTA TV, so I've promised the wife I'd get her TV for next season. I'm thinking satellite seems like the only reliable option, is that true.
With satellite TV there seem to be a lot of options and extremely different price ranges. I can see spending about $3K, give or take. Here are some details:

- I cruise in the Great Lakes only, and I doubt we'll ever take this boat further.
- HD is required. At least 480P, 720P preferred.
- I'm willing to pay a monthly subscription during the season
- I have an open array radar already on the arch, so I may need to mount it on a pedestal.
- Only need 1 TV connected right now (we don't watch in the berths)
