Starlink supposedly will be available in 2020
Article We will have to wait and see. And I am not sure they will target the RV market, at least not yet. But there is a glimmer of hope.

I wonder how most cable providers provide both television and internet and get away charging for both?
Perhaps you should look into those businesses and how they interact. Want the short answer? Because you won't be streaming most providers /channels unless you pay someone. Start adding up all the subscription costs. Netflix / Prime / _______ /_______ etc. Those fees are not going away no matter how it gets to you.
Now its different if you want to watch nothing but internet baloney, Youtube, and in your case the Fantasy channel.
The reason cable companies are still providing both is many over 40 years of age have not gone full streaming and many don't understand how it works, I have 2 brothers that are still stuck in the cable world even though they have internet at there house.
You don't need cable to get 95 percent of the programs on streaming anymore, that to is going away, you need to check out Roku box and learn something.
Cable/satellite TV service has few folks signed up under 30 years of age, streaming growing by the thousands daily.
As to cost for streaming it is far cheaper if you know how it works and don't add extra channels that you don't need, many are free.
My total household and RV streaming is around $400 a year for thousands of programs, movies, sports, news, etc, 10 times the content than cable/satellite and many programs are commercial free.
My monthly internet is not included in the above cost because I need internet for my business so I might as well go ahead and stream down all my TV programs/movies for cheap while I have internet anyways.
The younger generation including my 2 daughters in there mid 20's already sees the savings and better content for cheap since they all have internet and don't see why the slow older generation is paying $100 a month for a few junk channels loaded with commercials..

How do I watch TV when out camping where there's no 4G?
Not everyone lives like you do. Last thing I want to do is be tied to 4G when out camping. Come out west young man and you'll see that your fantasy is greatly compromised.
