Directv On The Road Satellite Options and Equipment

Hello all! I'm wanting to get satellite and internet service for when we're traveling. Right now we're camping at a place where there's little to no service and we're dealing with severe weather in the area and I can't get service to keep track of the storms on radar!!

So this won't happen, I'm needing recommendations for the best DirecTV package that has both satellite TV and internet and recommendations for the best equipment. Thank you so much!!

    The best for DirecTV is the Winegard Trav'ler and a Genie receiver or any receiver you currently use at home (just move it to the RV).
    As mentioned, DTV does not offer internet. Your best option will be a good cell plan with as much data as you can afford. This won't help if you travel to remote locations frequently with little or no cell service. If that's the case you can get satellite internet service but it requires large, manually setup and stored antenna and receiver equipment. It's a bit pricey but it works anywhere in the US (lower 48) you have a clear view of the Southern Sky.

    No Dtv package has internet. Get a smartphone and a decent provider.
