My husband and I are full time RVers. We began our adventure September 2016. My question: how do you watch Netflix, Hulu, etc. on your tv in your RV? We use our T-Mobile personal hotspot (unlimited data) on our iPhones and Netflix works well. However, Hulu buffers constantly. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

buy a chromecast for $35.00 at walmart and cast from phone to TV

Most streaming services let you set your streaming to a definition setting. Look under privacy and settings in your profile you can set your system to download in standard resolution instead of hi res. Picture will not be quite as sharp but with all but the best tv's its not real noticeable.

If you have Netflix, they now have the option of downloading many movies & shows. So, on your computer, tablet or phone, download a few things you want to watch and then connect to your tv. I was at a campground on Wednesday and tried it for the first time. Using the campground wifi, I downloaded four shows and then started watching them.

Couple of different ways you can do it. We upgraded our tv to a smart tv and use the hotspot on our phones for internet and watch Hulu and stuff that way. Another way is buy the $30 iPhone adaptor that lets you connect a hdmi to your phone and then to the tv. You can mirror the picture to the tv and watch what you want. We do that in our bedroom of the 5er. Or you can buy an Apple TV or even a smart hub and use your hotspot to access the internet and watch that way but as it sounds you have tried that and have a buffering issue. Apple TV likes data and has a lot of background running and pulling which can slow it down.

If you are planning to watch hulu in Canada or outside US you need to have a VPN.

You do realize, this is a 5yr old thread and the available mobile plans are wildly different.

You do realize the person that resurrected this 5 year old thread is A TROLL.

I have not determined why they do this though. This forum gets 2 or 3 a week
