Process of elimination
Hi Everyone, We are paying about 80 bucks for our two AT&T flip phones and 75 bucks for home (Windstream) phone/internet. 117 bucks for DISH Network. Is there anything I can have at home and camping...

At home scrap the wire line. if you use it for DSL interente get a "Dry Line" (no dial tone) way less expensive
Dish TV... I had that. I also had Direct, if you MUST have "Premimum" services those are your choices when RVing. Get an RV plan.
Direc can still sell "Distant Network Service" so you get ABC,NBC and all the TLAs (three letter Acronyms) no matter where you go with the possible exception of PBS.
Dish you have to call and change your service location every time you move.
use the "Spare" receivers in the house (you wil have to self install a dish/Antenna)
OR do what I do.. The simple version: OTA ANTENNA.. Yup Winegard Sensar IV with Sensar Pro and I can't watch all the TV I get.
Complex version... And this is very complex but read it anyway (Simplifed version here)
I have 2 (Shoudl have kept the 3rd one) REPLAY TV DVR's. these are older, no longer made (DirectTV owns the patents now) Digita Video Records NTSC standard,, They do not do modrn ATSC but I have a pair of digital converters in fron of them.. These are connected one to the MAIN tv up front and one to the Bedroom. the Sensar Pro feeds the multiplex switch (Box of many buttons) up front and from there it can feed any of the TV's or The front converter or the Replays, nto that they can use OTA any more.. The converters feed the REPLAY units on A/V in so the antenna jack is open in case the campagrond has Park Cabe on the NTSC standard (Some still do) When I was stuck in such a park it was fun because my favorite statrion did nto always work on cable, but did on teh OTA so the Replays choose Cabe or OTA automaticalyk they also contro the Converters ike they were Sat Receivers... |
They are networked so I can record in one room watch in the other, switch rooms mid show, and so on and a those "Only our over pricced subscription service lets you do this" stuff.

Finally I have a dedicated 100 dollar computer that for 25/year gets access to a n electronic TV Guide (Program listing service)
So they DVR's work just ike a Dish DVR.. In fact... DISH got sued for copying Replay's software for use in their DVR's so it is JUST like a Dish DVR.
ANd I do it all for 25/year after initial investiment, and the Replays... Well I got them long, long ago.
