Are there over the air channels in STT? I want to put an TV and wi-fi antenna on my mast.

There is "Over the Air TV " here originating i the VI and PR.

Strongest stations in my location( East End STJ) are CH 2, 4, and 12.

I have an Eagle Aspen DTV2BUHF Antenna and get 17 digital channels on East End STJ.
WTJX has 4 channels and CH4 WAPA de Puerto Rico has 3.

You can get Direct TV on the boat, BTW.

The Directv boat recievers like Tracvision are $2500 + installation. Do you know a cheaper way to get Directv?

If you are only going to use it in the marina, perhaps. Let me think on this one. I'll get back to you.

If the boat is staying put, then Install it on a pole next to the boat, instead of on the boat.

Dish Network works on boats as well.

I have several power yachts as clients.

RE.. Direct Receivers, the standard receiver works. I replaced one on a 100' yacht that was passing thru last December.

DirectTV Caribbean (trindad) provides service to yachts operating from the VI to South America.

A marina could set up a master antenna and run a feed line along the utility path used to provide water and current to each dock.
