Stan, I have one in my truck, for the most part it comes in real well, it needs a clear shot of the sky or it will get glitchy, you have to use direct tv and if you have it @ home it will only be $5.00 a month, if not you are looking around $50.00 a month, the antenna is a little noisy but I have the a5 , they say the newer one out (I think a7) is allot quitter, I think it is worth every penny.

You hit the nail on the head! But it's great! I also have it running to the headrests, the only problem is they ran it through the fm modulator...going to fix that by adding the A.I. nucleus should sound great.

I had the A5 on my SUT and I liked it for the most part. It definitely needs open sky to work and it is loud. I simply found I did not use it very often. Btw AT&T has a unit coming out as well...

AT&T CruiseCast in-car satellite TV service launching this Spring

Mobile TV hasn't even taken off (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/11/15/research-finds-mobile-tv-as-unseductive-as-ever-though-vod-seem?icid=sphere_wpcom_inline) in the cellphone market, but it's already looking to take another sector by storm. AT&T has announced here at CES that its CruiseCast in-car satellite TV service will be launching this Spring, and we're told to expect 22 channels initially and 20 sat radio stations to boot. Not surprisingly, the system will set you back somethin' fierce: it'll cost $1,299 for the kit and $28 per month for the service. From the start, the channel lineup will include Disney Channel, Discovery Kids, Animal Planet, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network Mobile, USA, MSNBC, CNN Mobile Live and CNBC (among others), and you'll be required to install a three pound 11.3- x 10.3- x 4.3-inch antenna on the roof of your vehicle. Oh, and if you're looking for a little test drive before you buy in, Avis and Budget are expected to make it available in some locales for $9 a day or $63 per week.
