Hi Stug,
Very interesting post (to me that is). I too pondered what to do when on the road with my RV (not purchased yet).
Wire and cable management and nicely dressed cables is a requisite for me, I cant stand that rats nest behind the tv's and home theater. A video/ audio distribution system and standardized cabling such as HDMI or video distribution via ethernet is the way to go.
One thing you will find is even with unlimited mifi plans netflix will eat your bandwidth. All the unlimited plans out there will throttle you back down to 3g or even 2g after you consume 2-3 gigs of bandwidth... so yes its unlimited but at slower rate.
So with that in mind for tv viewing we will rely on satellite tv with Dish tailgater. $45 @ month with no contract is a good price point but I am still investigating and researching that but I dont think I can rely on wireless for nothing more than web surfing and email so will delegate my tv viewing via satellite.
I have also thought about using an htpc or windows media center but the setup times are too arduous and lengthy for mobile installations with mce. I have 3TB video server using playon at home and could take an htpc on the road with me and run that, with htpc setup with playon server running and with some of the low cost Sony Bluray players out there with DLNA each tv can be viewing different content. Also instead of satellite if I go with just OTA I would get the silicondust HDHR tuners and stream live tv to the above sony blu ray players. If you ever have seen the Sony PS3 user interface the bluray player interface is the same... and you can pick up these players refurbished for about $50 off Amazon
Just some thoughts thanks for the bump I would have missed this topic
