Does anyone know about wifi in an RV park. Do you need to purchase an extender to get a good signal on the wifi. Also wondering about TV reception and receiving channels. Thought of buying a roku for ...

Your personal data is much more likely (by a factor in the thousands) of being stolen by hackers targeting a large merchant (think Target), a large internet company (think Yahoo) or a credit card processor themselves (think Global Payments). Then there are all sorts of scams involving retail clerks, fake card readers at ATMs and Gas Stations, stealing your information out of your snail mail box and you just plain responding to phishing emails. If your bank's URL shows https, and they all do, it is safe to conduct business no matter what public system your are logged on to.
Although we should be able to assume by now that everybody knows this rule, I will repeat:
Do not EVER transmit sensitive data over a CG wifi system!
That means Banking, Bill Paying, Medical or other personal identifying material (even your home address). Assume everything you transmit is being recorded (by bad people).
