Newer Mobile Satellite TV Antenna Keeps Track Of Satellite Position

As a nation on the go and more carmakers including LCD television screens and DVD players in their vehicles, a new dimension of on the road entertainment is available with the newest mobile satellite TV antenna. One of the biggest hurdles travelers had to face in trying to use their satellite television service on the road was the constant motion, moving out of the line of site of the orbiting satellites. Many of the new types of mobile satellite TV antenna are capable of automatically tracking the vehicle's position in relation to the satellite's fixed position and adjusting its aim to maintain a constant signal.

The new mobile satellite TV antenna is also considerably smaller that older models, which in some cases were only used when the traveling vehicle was parked. Once stopped, they could set up the antenna and aim it at the satellite and enjoy their service while spending the night or longer in a campground. Today's newer mobile satellite TV antennas enable them to maintain a constant link and enjoy the television programming without having to stop and aim their usually large dish.

Newer antennas are located inside a dome that attaches to the top of the car, recreational vehicle, bus or even on a boat with about a five-inch height. Some as small as 14 or 16-inches in diameter and other mobile satellite TV antenna are oval shape to take advantage of satellite broadband internet access.

New Meaning To Entertainment On The Go

For persons who spend a lot of time on the road with other often younger passengers, having to rely on pre-recorded programs may be fine for a while, but with the possibility of receiving many of the programming choices they experience at home, the mobile satellite TV antenna can offer a much wider range of options. For those traveling in larger vehicles, a dual LNB mobile satellite TV antenna can send a signal to two different units allowing for viewing of two channels at once.

The smaller mobile satellite TV antenna may also be able to keep track of the satellite while the vehicle is on the move. This keeps the antenna constantly pointed in the right direction providing a consistently stable signal. The only problem is maintaining line of sight signal as tall buildings, mountains and trees can block the signal while on the road or while parking overnight. On the open road they perform better than using a mobile satellite TV antenna in large cities with numerous tall buildings.
