Satellite TV for less than $100,000? That’s the deal being offered by in-flight entertainment specialist Flight Display Systems (FDS), an Alpharetta, Ga.-based cabin electronics manufacturer, which last month unveiled an all-new satellite TV system for business airplanes called Ellipse Direct.

The company said the hardware package will sell for one-third of the price of competing airborne satellite-direct receiving systems and will fit on a variety of aircraft, including light jets and turboprops.
