That's the verbatim CES press release from Dish.

And if you are not familiar with the technology, here's a link to one of the above vendors who has similar equipment.

I saw a post on another forum (DBStalk) that MobileDish had launched as an in-car satellite system and calling DISH, they said to contact a local retailer about equipment, such as receiver and antenna (The local retailer numbers they gave me didn't answer or just had "leave a message" or have and I just have a few simple questions and don't want to order it yet, but want more information.

Nothing seems to be on the website.

If anyone knows some basics, such as equipment cost, programming packages prices, bundles with regular home DISH programming, etc, would like to know.

Thanks!

You need a Dish from Raysat

A Dish 311 receiver

And programming from Dish Network.

Then you have MobileDISH.

Oh my god, I had no idea it was going to be that expensive. I was thinking 2-3 hundred bucks. I mean who in the hell would buy that?

People with more money than sense.
People with money to burn.
People with large trust funds.
People with $2400 available credit on their card, etc..............
