Isn't it true that it is very, very costly, just like sat phones?

You get get a directional antenna for over-the-air HDTV, or get a small satellite setup. The initial equipment might set you back several hundred dollars, but after that the monthly subscription costs for a satellite system are just like for a home setup, $40-$60/mo (or more, depending on what packages you get).
