If you have one, what brand do you recommend? Would you buy it again or another brand?
Best Regards!

Has anyone checked out the KVH TracVision A5? It's a low profile in-motion satellite TV system for vehicles and is only 5" high! I thinks it's rather expensive, but I like the concept and hopefully the price will come down. Check out the link below:
We have the KVH low profile A5 unit on one of my SUV's at work. It was expensive, but money is no object when you work for Uncle Sam. It works very well, but I have not seen it used in any rain fall conditions, and since the SUV is garaged, no idea if dew distorts the picture.
It is linked to Direct TV and sets up very quickly and only blinks going under a bridge, often so quickly that you hardly notice it. It is so low profile, it only sticks up about 2 inches above the roof racks.
It is on an emergency command SUV, so the vehicle can be turned into an emergency mobile command post. Wish I had it on my RV, but I don't want to spent the $2500 it cost.
Best regards!

No, the Winegard is around $1500. You may be thinking of the Datastorm/Hughes Internet dish, which cannot be used while moving. I was talking about the TV system. I want something to watch when I'm driving down those long, boring roads (just kidding).
