Check out Slingbox. This would only work if the Slingbox is installed someplace that has either cable or satellite service and also high speed internet available. Slingbox would give you control of a settop box. If for instance, a family member or friend had an extra settop box they were willing to let you have access to, you could plug the Slingbox into it. You then could access the Slingbox from anywhere in the world using a computer or mobile device that is running the Slingplayer software.
That doesn't help the limited internet access available to the RVer. Despite the signal being broadcast on a free high speed unlimited internet service, to receive the signal you would need a similar option. Most campground wifi will either not handle or specifically block these type of connections leaving your cellular data plan to take the hit. You might be OK paying $2 to watch a couple of TV shows or $5 to watch 1 HD movie (the cost of extra GB's for you data plan) but it does not make any particular sense to me.
