I really don't see the problem with this. All we have to do is carry a
satellite dish  and watch The Weather Channel. The bonus is that we'll
be able to camp on isolated beaches and still keep up with Desperate
Houswives.  The entertainment abilities of VHF have always been
marginal, at best. Except for the occasional dramatic rescue on
Channel 16.
