Direct TV/Internet

[momo798]

Has anyone out there installed Direct TV on their A/C and if so what were the Approx. costs.
I am also curious if there is capability to get internet as I know that some European airlines have this. I guess that it works like WiFi.
Thanks in advance for the replies.

We had DTv installed a couple of years ago, the figure 350-400K sticks in my mind. I love it. My boss pays for all the sports subscriptions and all of the movie packages. It sure makes those, "I am running late" phone call more palatable.

recent inquiry indicates it's still north of 300K

We've got in in our Falcon 50. It came with it when we bought it. The guys at Duncan said that if we had to duplicate the installation today we would be looking at +/- $500K.

That is insanely expensive, even for aviation. Wow...

So instead of sitting in the fbo, you lounge in the plane with the APU running and your Sat TV?

That's awesome!

When it comes to things aeronautical, if you have to ask how much it costs you probably can't afford it.
