Directv question
Is it possible to have a Directv receiver at home being used and one in the RV also being used?
Forum Discussion
I just returned from a three week, 6231 mile trip from Massachusetts to Arizona with stops in Texas and New Mexico.
I used DirecTVNOW and Curiosity STREAM on the entire trip. Using a Verizon HotSpot, T-Mobile HotSpot or campground / McDonalds / Panera Bread / Etc WiFi
I do not have unlimited service for Verizon so used it very little. The T-Mobile, $30 a month unlimited streaming plan worked great everywhere except at Hidden Valley Ranch RV park in a deep valley in New Mexico with poor Verizon service and no T-Mobile or Sprint service. But the RV park had amazing WiFi for $2 a day.
At rest stops and truck stops, I used my ALFA WiFi booster system to use the free WiFi. A few times I was in a truck stop with a McDonalds across the street and the WiFi booster pulled in their WiFi like I was sitting inside the restaurant. Very pleased!
I was never in a situation where I could not access DirecTV NOW or Curiosity STREAM over the internet.
This past week I bought and activated an AT&T Mobley OBD hotspot with unlimited data for $20 a month.
Now I have access to all four major carriers and WiFi at will. I also have a WeBoost that has proven very effective at times.
Verizon...My company supplies $$?
AT&T....22g High Speed, (may be throttled after but no one I've heard has been throttled with usagr up to 200g)Unlimited DirecTV streaming as AT&T owns DTV now....Used it on a trip from Massachusetts to NJ with spectacular performance.$20 a month
SPRINT...6G $30 a month (Works almost no where. Terrible service once you get off the highway or outside a large city.
T-Mobile...$30 Unlimited Streaming. So far, VERY good performance everywhere I've been except in the mountains of New Mexico.
I predict that within month, the sight of satellite dishes on RVs will go the way of the dinosaur. I can not see the need, expense and deployment making any sense as the cost for unlimited services continue to crash and the network gets better and better....
