Is it possible to get FTA in Van?

How does the antenna in a moving automobile maintain its aim to the satellite?

Chrysler Town and Country is offering sirius satellite TV

Sirius won't stay in business for long depending on Radio alone
They have been talking about this for at least 4 past years.

Antenna in a moving car for TV:
- Much small packets at least 10:1
- It will be few selective channels
- Multiple Satellites like GPS
- I think they need to team up with a cell company like sprint

PTA in Van
I say not at present time

Sorry thought you meant FTA in a van, you had mispelled it for PTA, thought you were saying no TV at all in a van now!

I didn't mispelled it
FTA= Ftee to Air
PTA= Pirate to Air

They charge $7.00 a month for Cartoon Net, Disney& Nick
That's not free to air
If yo want to get the service without paying for it then yo have to hack the tuner and instead of saying no hack I said no PTA.

But paid service like XM Radio, yes
