Football games, The Weather Channel, news, classic movies...over 200 channels of entertainment can come screaming into your yacht with a Sea Tel marine satellite antenna. All while you're still at sea, even in the roughest waters. 

As your vessel pitches, yaws or rolls, Sea Tel's patented fast acting correction mechanisms continually adjust the antenna position to keep the antenna locked in on your chosen satellite. Even our smallest system has been shown to maintain a reliable satellite link in high seas and gale force winds. 

Our latest tracking antenna controller not only makes acquiring the right satellite service easy, it lets you keep up with new services as they are added. To get the picture, just enter the ship position, pick a satellite, and the system does the rest. Or let the system search the sky for you automatically. All you do is kick back, relax, and watch TV - just as you would at home. 

Sea Tel offers a range of affordable and extremely reliable Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) and Direct-to-Home (DTH) systems with radome-enclosed dishes from 18" to 48" across. You'll find Sea Tel's TV-at-Sea systems on ships from personal yachts to cruise liners to aircraft carriers. With more than 100 dealers in the US and in Europe, only Sea Tel has a 2-year warranty and access to all programming providers including DirectTV, USSB, Dish Network, Galaxy Latin America (GLA) and in Europe, Astra, Eutelsat and Orbit. 

Designed for power and sail boats as small as 30 feet, the Model  1898S boasts Sea Tel's smallest size and lightest weight ever, and the quietest operation of any fully stabilized marine satellite system in the market. Capitalizing on Sea Tel's worldwide leadership in big system TV-at-Sea, the Model 1898S combines TruePoint tracking with Sea Tel's superior three axis, solid state stabilization system to deliver the quietest, most responsive, fully-stabilized, small antenna for satellite TV-at-Sea available anywhere. Sea Tel's Model 1898S is unique in its versatility in the USA and in Europe (Model 1898E). In the US the Model 1898S, using circular polarization, works equally well with DIRECTV ® , USSB ® and Dish Network ® . In Europe the Model 1898E, using linear polarization, receives all the new digital services from Astra and Eutelsat. In addition, the Model 1898S will receive digital programming services in Japan, Korea, Asia-Pacific, and all the new high-powered satellite services being introduced around the world. Programming choices with the Model 1898S and Model 1898E are tremendous. Mariners in the US can select hundreds of channels of TV programming and digital music including HBO, CNN, ESPN, professional and college sports, Bloomberg, movies, the Weather Channel and much, much more. In Europe the selection includes all the new digital services from Astra (Sky) and Eutelsat. Sea Tel's Model 1898S gives the smaller boat owner the chance to watch his or her favorite TV, sports, movies and news programming whether the boat is anchored or underway in rough weather and adverse sea conditions. The Model 1898S features an attractive above decks radome measuring 21 inches high and 20 inches in diameter. The antenna dish is 18 inches in diameter. The above deck unit weighs 33 lb. Below decks, the Model 1898S connects to 12 volt DC current and features only a small (3x5) panel-mounted control unit for operating the system. 
 

Model 2498S provides increased signal reception area at sea and stronger signal reception in inclement weather because the larger dish (24" in a 27" radome) is able to acquire more of the satellite's signal and increase the antenna "gain".
 

Sea Tel DBS/DTH systems work with all satellite receivers in the US, Caribbean and Mediterranean. In the US, the digital satellite receiver includes the access card to receive and decode the digital satellite programming and provides easy to understand, on-screen programming guides. The satellite receiver's remote control is used to navigate through the on-screen display. For those yachts with more than one television set, all Sea Tel DBS/DTH systems easily accommodate additional DBS/DTH satellite receivers. This allows each TV-viewer on-board to watch the show of their choice without concern for what others might watch elsewhere in the ship. 
 
Sailing in European waters, the Mediterranean, the southern Caribbean or along the South American coast? You'll want our larger DBS/DTH antennas to receive the lower powered satellite signals in these areas. These models bring in clear satellite TV images long after lesser antennas have given up. So long as your ship is large enough to support them, these are the models to choose when you want to be assured of quality television programming anywhere there is a satellite TV signal available to be captured. 

Model 4894 offers the widest US range, reaching Southern Alaska, the coasts of Central Mexico, as far south as western Haiti and as far north as parts of Newfoundland.  With Canadian service (Bell ExpressVU) coverage extends further north and east, but does not extend as far south.
