If 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.
