Exceed.. is what used to be called Wild Blue, and is NOT, repeat NOT compatible with the RV life style. For more info on this read any thread on Sat Television and LOCAL TV channels... They use SPOT BEAM and low earth orbit birds, these do not have nationwide coverage.
While they use spot beam, they are not low earth orbit satellites. Excede uses the ViaSat-1 and it is in a geosynchronous orbit. The only way to get geosynchronous orbit is at high altitude and the ViaSat-1 is at 22,000 miles.
