Satellite vs. Cable

We are waiting to take delivery of our FW Reflection 303 by Grand Design. As this is our first RV we have been slowly outfitting and this came up as one of the questions.

    Not sure how you plan on getting cable to follow you from place to place? If putting at a seasonal site cable maybe an option, but only at that location.
    We use dish on the road and like it a lot.
  • Awful hard to drag enough cable behind you to get too far away from home!
    Seriously now, this has been beat nearly to death. Satellite allows you to receive the same stations at the same locations where ever you go. Park cable may or may not be OK for a night, but every parks channel lineup will be different so you will have to learn them all over each time you move.
    There are two satellite providers. They offer similar packages at similar prices. One has better sports lineup if that is your thing. One has a better HD lineup too. So do your research and pick one.
