Aside from the occasional inability to get a decent signal, there aren't really any downsides.
For a home owner I would have to agree that this is not a real problem. For RVers who like to search out areas where the population is somewhat less dense I just have to giggle. 4G has huge gaps outside the cities and that's not going to change (seriously, how many cows are concerned about their IPad?). 5G coverage is going to be so highly limited for the first 10+ years that RVers will be saying 5 what?
It's all about how and where you RV. If you are a city dweller in your RV you will likely never need satellite TV. If you are a minimalist and you don't want TV while RVing, you will likely never need satellite TV. However, there will ALWAYS be a need for satellite TV. Maybe not the current offerings, but some kind of satellite TV. Just as Space X believes the only way to provide internet Nationwide is via satellite, the only way to provide TV Nationwide is via satellite.
