We don't have a satellite dish, and we often camp where there is neither cable TV nor good OTA reception. So, I got a Raspberry Pi computer, installed OpenELEC operating system on it and added a couple of 128GB USB thumb drives. On the thumb drives I recorded a bunch of our favorite movies. Now when we are without a TV feed, we can simply click on "Movies" in the "Kodi" Media Center app on the Raspberry Pi, and voila! Entertainment. (I also installed fairly extensive music and photo libraries accessible via Kodi.)
If you are not familiar with Raspberry Pi, check it out (here). It's a powerful little computer in a package about the size of a deck of cards. I have another one at home that I use for a Plex Media Server. With that one, I can access all my movies, music and photos via the internet, even when I'm away from home.
