How do you watch tv

Do you stream tv with an unlimited data phone plan, satellite,
rely on rv park cable or over air? I'm trying to make decision if to get HD smart TV, or go to Hulu $40 'real time', or?????
Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
  • Satellite (Dish) or OTA that imports it's channels into my Dish guide. I do stream occasionally, but it can zap data.
  • OTA most of the time, campground cable when available, pay as you go satellite when nothing else is available. BTW, Natchez, MS has only one bad OTA station available. OTA antenna is good for 50+ miles over flatlands.
  • We use satellite Directv if I cant get a good signal then we use the campground cable
  • Most of the time I either use the park provided cable TV or over the air antenna near the large cities. For those really in the woods type places I bring plenty of DVDs and watch those. I refuse to pay the kind of money that Verizon charges for unlimited data plans in order to stream video. Next year I may buy a Dish antenna so I can pull in my local channels (if the park doesn't have too many trees blocking the sky).
    Don't even think of streaming using the park WiFi or I'll be pounding on your door because I can't even get my email.
  • We use OTA. Always find at least 5 or 6 channels, sometimes as many as 30. We also have movies recorded on a WD hard drive.

  • OTA and an unlimited data plan. Local news is my favorite and it’s OTA.
