- bdpreeceExplorer IIYou would need your own high speed internet connection for this to work. Most parks don't allow any type of media streaming on their internet.
- rickeoniExplorerDo some research, these preloaded boxes are chea offshore junk.
You are much better off buying a good box and loafing KODI yourself.
You will need a fast stable Internet connection for it to work properly. I have 3 for home use and they are fantastic. - NjmurvinExplorerRead the fine print. If you're watching copyrighted material for free, it's probably not legal. Check out the story of the company Aereo if you don't believe me.
- klr650goldwingExplorerThanks for the comments.
Rickioni, do you have a brand for that box? Thanks. - Old-BiscuitExplorer IIICrank up your Winegard Batwing Antenna.....properly aim it towards TV Transponder towers
Set TV to 'Air' (Antenna) do a scan
Watch some TV
Personal Internet service/connection NOT going to be fast enough/large enough unless you pay $$$$ - Wild_CardExplorerWe use Roku players at home they work great have not had cable or satelite for 3 yrs.
I carry a google Chromecast in the camper. I utilize my phone as a hotspot only if things get real boring and I cant pick up anything over the air. Mobile data usage to watch tv if you dont have unlimited will hurt your wallet in a real bad way - kohaiExplorerI've messed with using my laptop to connect to the tv and play video from the laptop (files stored locally on the laptop). I've messed with chromecast, again streaming from my laptop (plex) to the chromecast. Streaming from the internet is never gonna happen unless it is 4am or something.
Not being happy involving my laptop, I'm trying a new approach. I'm working on figuring out the format my Samsung TV likes for files on a usb stick. Then at home I can pull TV shows off of my Tivo, encode them, and put them on a usb stick and I'm set for a trip with a bunch of shows (using kmttg for the tivo and encoding).
Right now the file format I use seems to lose the audio after 10 minutes or so. - DReisingerExplorerWas camping a couple weeks ago at St. Andrews Fl. State Park in Panama City Beach, picked up 20 channels on AIR scan with Batwing antenna
- NjmurvinExplorerIf you have:
(1) AT&T wireless as your cell phone provider AND
(2) A decent signal (strong 4G or better yet LTE) AND
(3) A subscription to DirecTV NOW (their streaming product, NOT the dish based product),
Then you can stream to your phone or tablet USING THE DIRECTV NOW APP without it counting against your data. I cut the cord from DirecTV satellite service over a year ago at home and have never looked back. I'll admit the DTVN service has been sketchy for a few months and they still don't have all the features available (most significant being a cloud DVR), but it has improved significantly since the introduction late last year. Their affiliation with AT&T makes it interesting for RVing in that - as long as there's ample signal - we can stream all we want and the data usage doesn't count against our data plans. - bob213ExplorerNo need for another box. Kodi can be loaded onto a win laptop or mac. Just need a cable from laptop to tv. Kodi.tv or just watch it on your computer. Does require an internet connection.
