A method and apparatus for providing satellite television and other data services to moving vehicles. In the method of the invention, substantially the full power of the transponder of a satellite, normally associated with bit rates of more than 30-40 Mbps, is reduced to a lower bit rate, for example, 1-2 Mbps, associated with between one and six video channels. As such, more power is provided per channel, allowing easier reception by small aperture antennas used on or in the moving vehicles.
