Best TV Streaming Services
Is there a TV streaming service for full time RVers that doesn't require checking in at a home ZIP code every 90 days? We don't get "home" that often.

- I use Philo to get access to "cable" channels streaming apps on my Roku. I hardly ever use the Philo app itself. Philo does not give access to local channels. I use the antenna to get local tv in the area where I am at. I also have Hulu (free with my Sprint) and Netflix that we use. We were out for 4 months last time with no issues.
- I used Netflix in AZ and my wife used Netflix in CO for 3 months on the same account. No problem.
- I think Netflix has some sort of location based sign-in that has to be renewed every few months, but I don't know about the others. The only paid streaming subscription we use is CBS All Access, and it doesn't seem to care where are. Most the others we use are linked to our Dish satellite account, and they don't care where we are either.
You could probably use a browser add-on like Location Guard to fool the login into thinking you're in your home area. - I don't know what you use for internet service for this.

Are you talking internet streaming ?
Roku box is the best way for streaming, Apple box comes in 2nd..
You will need internet on the road however..- DirecTV? DISH?

- I use a Roku stick and subscribe to Youtube TV. I looked into bringing the Roku stick with me to Florida this winter and ran into the same issue you're having. I was told that After 90 days, I would have to sign up again using the zip code of where we'll be staying and then cancel when we get home and re-subscribe with our home zip code. Not terrible if you're going to be in one place for a few months but if you're often on the move it would be a pain in the neck. As a side note, I have not received a definitive answer on whether using a VPN essentially tricking the service to think you're in your home area would work or not. Maybe someone a lot more tech savvy than me could chime in on this for you.
