Since we took out the OEM tube TV in '07, we have used a Windows laptop and the Happauge 950Q USB tuner. It can be positioned to comfortably view, while the fixed set in cabover wasn't.
Cannot speak for DISH, and am seldom in private cgs w/ their brand of cable, but OTA is really suited for major network primetime news and the few shows you really love. The dozens of other channels' content are easily substituted w/ DVDs that your computer can play, or content you've recorded to the hard drive w/ the Happauge EPG and DVR software and your home cable.
I see a TV w/o a DVD player as a hobbled RV tool. For the life of me I cannot understand why tablets or cell phones don't have OTA tuners built in - tuners are cheap.
A radio fits a screen porch setting, so that your eyes are freed up for whatever it is outside worth looking at.
