That would be perfect for us ramblin' folks who don't want to mess with a sat dish...


You might consider using a laptop with a wireless broadband internet connection. It's as if your computer connect through a cell phone connection, in simplified terms. I don't think you are going to get much live programming, though. You could download video, and most shows on TV are available soon after airing.

The one sitcom I watch is The Office, and I've saw more episodes this past season on a laptop than on a TV screen. I did need to wait a day to see them.

I will say that while the wireless broadband is nice, it's simply not as good as using the wires that come into our apt.
