OTA TV via your rig's antenna works great if you are anywhere near a major city. The stations now send out a digital signal.
BUT - you will need to be happy with getting only the major channels (CBS, NBC, etc) and PBS channels. You will not get National Geographic, History Channel, ESPN, NFL, etc.
That's why I have satellite TV. I have one of the portables - a Winegard Pathway X2 and get DISH channels. You can get HBO, Cinemax, etc movies or Pay Per View. With Dish there is no contract and I believe you can shut down your service and then restart, but I don't know the particulars on that.
It kind of depends on how important TV and movies are to you. I fulltime so I want TV just like I had in my sticks and bricks home.
I have a Verizon MiFi and a 20 gig data plan for internet usage.
My phone is an Iphone from Straight Talk running their unlimited plan for $45 that uses the Verizon network.
As a fulltimer I wanted Verizon for everything because they seem to have the best overall coverage.
