“High Definition Television on boats is no longer only in the domain of megayachts… now just about everyone can get satellite reception at sea. Talk to Sydney Marine Electrical about a range of marine HDTV and Satellite options”

Marine Satellite

TV is now a standard item on just about every boat with a cabin large enough to weekend in. That could mean anything from a small flatscreen on the bulkhead to a 40-inch television that silently rises out of an innocent-looking tabletop at the press of a button. Either way, if your boat has enough interior space for a galley and a berth, chances are there’s space for a television aboard as well. No matter where or how the TV is mounted, picture quality and channel choices depend entirely upon one thing: reception. And reception at sea is a bit different than it is on land. If you’re getting ready to shove off the dock and head out into open waters, you’ll need to make the right choice — or all you’ll be seeing is static.

Smaller satellite antennas will generally get you coverage 70 to 80 kilometers offshore. To reach a signal farther from the beach, however, you’ll have to go bigger. As a general rule, when it comes to marine satellite TV antennas and how far from shore they can get reception, size matters. Talk to us about your marine satellite options.

Marine HDTV

High-definition television is the new must have on boats. While it isn’t as simple as installing your home network, it’s achievable, practical and beginning to reach price thresholds that make most cruising boat owners install it.

Since HDTV channels can be distributed among a number of different satellites, every high-def channel might not be received by a marine-tracking HDTV antenna, so check with us to be sure you will not be missing your favorite programming.

Another option is terrestrial or off-air television which can deliver HDTV signals to your boat for no more than a couple-hundred- dollar investment. All you need is a digital antenna. Talk to us about your digital antenna options.
