Satellite TV is STILL THE BOMB if you are a full time RVer. We have been living in our RV since 1997, traveling full time since 2000 and have no S&B backup plan. If we are home the TV is on and we are both on our computers, checking our phones, playing games and just doing what everyone does in a house.
Not ready to give up satellite TV and even timmac agrees that for many RVers, satellite TV is still the very best option.
Satellite TV is not going anywhere. I do expect one service to buy the other with DISH buying DTV as the best option. The problem is the incompatibility of the 2 systems and the costs required to either keep 9 satellites in orbit or change all the DISH customers antennas to the more favorable DTV satellites.
Keep in mind that timmac is a very part time RVer and when he does travel he has an unlimited BUSINESS internet plan so his view of the real world for the rest of us is highly jaded.
