I’m thinking about removing the dome. I was told by an electronics vendor at the Stuart boat show this past weekend that the M5 is essentially obsolete.
I can't confirm that but I can say that I unsubscribed from Direct TV, bought a Glomex OTA antenna, hooked it up to the same cable that the DOME was using & bought a Samsung 43" Smart TV. The HD picture is fantastic, I get all the main broadcasters plus about 30 more & There are no monthly payments! Also, by using the hot spot on my cell phone I can surf the Internet and buy my stuff on Amazon! (Free movies to all Amazon Prime subscribers.)

I think that satellite TV is on its last legs!
