Kevin,

I suppose that a satellite antenna and receiver are supplied to each
ship. If not supplied, then purchased out of ship's recreation 
fund,
or as last result funded by the crew. Captain and XO will pay largest
portion of purchase cost.

Where the troops go, the commo types go, and the commos either know or
are pressured by colleagues to install receiver systems.

Especially in our Navy, the electronics techs are used to operating
independently of shore assistance; in the MarCorps, the higher-up
enlisted often have masters degrees.

Coast Guard is effectively a drug-interdicting Navy. 

Only Army, and Signal Corps I don't know about.

Talent in military is ahead of general civilian population.

I wonder how those troopers in the field think about this?

What of the sailors at sea who are unable to watch TV?
