Wifi connection for TV
Looking for something else that I might have missed for getting TV reception. I have a tailgater by Dish but may be dropping their service at home. Which means I will also lose the tailgater satellite...

Nomad Internet is a company that has plans using Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. They did have one for Sprint but I saw something that T-mobile may have purchased Sprint. Anyway, Nomad Internet uses their services and provides true unlimited throttle free service. They also provide hotspots for purchase, or you can buy or use your own hotspot you already have, provided that it works with one of the providers Nomad Internet uses.
Verizon did have a data only plan for a jet pack for about $69 per month that may have been unlimited without throttling. I was considering dropping my jet pack from my Verizon cell phone plan and using it to get the jet pack only plan just for data, but a better Verizon plan with data came out that suits my usage and I don't notice any throttling issues.
When I go full timing I will incorporate a cell phone signal booster and probably switch to Nomad Internet.
At home I got rid of Directv and haven't regretted it. About a year before the only premium service w/ Directv I had was Starz/Encore. I dropped it and was still paying around $125 a month. Then I picked up Netflix which i can use to down load programs to my phone or tablet to watch on the go or when traveling where wifi/cell phone signals may be weak or non existant. Later I completely dropped Directv. I started streaming Sling Tv for $69 a month including all Starz/Encore channels I dropped from Directv. Sling also carries HBO. I have all the channels I usually watched on Directv and more plus Cloud DVR for recording scheduled programming to view later. Watch one program live while recording 1 or more to view later. With Sling you purchase one of 2 base packages and can add ala carte channel clusters. They have 4 particular channel clusters that are $5 each per cluster or you can get all 4 for $10.
Sling Tv is owned by Dish Network. There are other streaming services similar to Sling that offer most satellite and cable channels.
I also have a Roku device I use for streaming at home. There are many free channels available through the Roku device for streaming free content. There are various local television news stations (2 of mine are available) from around the country available on Roku along with FOX News, SKY News, other news channels, the Weather Channel and other weather related channels are available. There are also channels like Pluto television that have channel lineups that are similar to cable/satellite. Pluto does offer a few of the cable/satellite channels, but have a lot of other not as well known channels. Some of those offer syndicayed television programming.
Another way to get your local home town news chanels is watching them on line through your lsp top, phone of tablet. Many stations have free android aps for local news.
Last but not least I have a rooftop television antenna for local television stations on the road and a Lava DVR HD Video Recorder Converter Box. It records OTA TV in up to 1080p and uses thumb drives instead of an internal hard drive to record programs and also has RCA connections and an HDMI connection. I can take with me in the trailer for my viewing pleasure.
