Who knows whether mobile TV will be a success. But to the extent that mobile TV makes sense, the idea of using DBS to moving vehicles is not bad. It's the equivalent of Sirius or XM Radio. Continuous TV coverage throughout the continent. I think of it as a "repurposing" of DBS. For a moving vehicle, DBS reception means a smart, steerable antenna. That same technlology could be used for better DTT reception in the moving vehicle. Also, for DTT to moving vehicles to make sense, you need wide and continuous coverage. Sharp contours around small "market" areas, leaving holes between markets, would be detrimental.
