Hi all,
I'm not a DVB expert but I'm wondering if this idea is feasible:
For an "amateur" web radio, for what I know, it is really hard to
being listened in cars, like people do with commercial satellite radio
[1] . Basically this is unaffortable for private user and this is
probably the most relevant factor that penalize web radios againt
terrestrial one.

My question is: is there any way to use the current, cheap, satellite
internet connections to stream some data above all the coverage of a geo
satellite? and make the receiver handy (so without any dishes) ?

Probably by introducing some _very_ redundant code inside the stream
that we upload through the modem and that the satellite will stream from
the sky, we can get some S/N db. The patch to do at the receiver is just
software or maybe hardware?
