Change to wifi in motion from tv satellite

What's your problem with DTV?

I think TMO upped unlimited to 50gb before they resort to forced 480p, Big Red is 20 or 25gb before they de-prioritize you. Big Red now automatically limits all video to a maximum of 720p on all plans and devices except a handful of tablets on the top tier plans.

I can't comment about this specific device or service, however I can say I bought an AT&T Mobley in car wifi access point before taking a 4200 mile trip from Louisiana to Yellowstone last month making a big loop that included much of north Texas, a sliver of Oklahoma, the all the way up eastern Colorado to Nebraska, over to Rawlins Wyoming, then up to Yellowstone, back through Casper across much of Nebraska, Kansas, a the corner of Missouri and all the way town the west side of Arkansas and back to Louisiana. Nearly the whole way I was able to stream music over the Mobley from Sirius (I have a Sirius Satellite radio in my car which was back home in Louisiana, but not the motorhome and have their plan that includes streaming over the net), with just one major exception while in Yellowstone, and part of Grand Teton national parks. Sure there were a few places without service, here and there, but they were few and far between, even when on secondary highways I could go 100 miles or more without a service drop out.

$250 per month for shopping channels and bs programing

Our approach is to record what we want and later watch a hour program in 30 minutes. Very little live TV for us. Our one receiver with it's recordings goes with us in the MH.

Any yes there is a lot of junk on the channels regardless of the source. While we're not paying $250/mth sat TV is not cheap.

Some accurate information about the DTV service would have been useful. This is not.

T Mobile and Verizon (big red check mark)

I don't understand the recent rush to dump satellite and go to streaming for our RV's. We are currently 10,000 miles into our recent trip. The satellite has worked just fine in all but a few parks that were heavily treed and in some of those, we were able to use our portable dish to overcome the problem. We do have unlimited service and do some streaming via ondemand. I can state that the times we either had not internet connection or such a slow connection that streaming would be impossible was way, way more than when we did not have use of the satellite. We would be without TV much, much more if we depended on streaming. Yes you can pay less for streaming services. But you get what you pay for. You can't DVR most streaming services. Whenever the dish is blocked, we can still watch what we have on the DVR. No way will we cancel our satellite and go to streaming. If all you do is sit in one spot in a major service area, perhaps streaming is a good fit for you. If you plan to do any traveling, take a very close look at what you want and need. Chuck
