Default satellite tv and Internet

Does anyone know of a low profile in motion satellite t.v and internet dish that I can put on my truck? I have D3 DataStrorm on our Armored Van but it does not work going down the road you must be stop and it takes about 5 min to sync up.

We do a lot of tailgating at the football games and it would be nice to have t.v

My wife and I have internet and TV while we travel, but we don't use a dish. Our 3G data plan let's us connect to a Slingbox and Hava streaming video device and get all the functions of our home cable box, including DVR.

Since it's internet-based, you can get spotty video, but it works for us.

A possible option, if you aren't locked into going satellite.

http://www.slingbox.com
and
http://www.myhava.com

Depending on version, they can both connect directly to your cable/satellite connection, or you can use the A/V-out of your equipment as well. Software is installed on your laptop (or phone!) and you get whatever you'd be seeing if you were in front of the TV, including have remote-control access.

If you have DirectTV, We have a sat go system that works great. You might try it, Even came with a car adapter.
