King Controls, though a major player in the RV market, is still a new guy on the block in the yachting world. Hence the aggressive $3,695 price tag on its 14-inch Sea-King stabilized antenna system, which can feed two user-supplied receivers as is, more with an optional multiswitch. The 9815-RJ is also HD-compatible, which means that you’ll need HD receivers, as well as a $295 HD converter if you use DirecTV. Note that receivers and boat subscriptions are often quite inexpensive when added to an existing home satellite TV service.
