The subscription cost for the programming is, as noted, about $45/mo.; that is, if you don't have DirecTV at home. If you already have a subscription at home, the mobile receiver is just an additional receiver, thus $4.99/mo + $1.99/mo for local channels. I looked into this when I first heard of these mobile dishes some time ago.

Maybe this isn't an approved Engadget Attitude (especially since this actually is a cool system), but I don't think my kids need to watch more Power Rangers on the way to school or the grocery store, even disregarding the cost. For those of you who want it though, it's not quite so expensive if you have DirecTV at home.

I suspect the Dish system noted by the previous commenter would be similar in price structure.

I'll hold out for a wristwatch satellite TV system.
