Satelite tv
We are hoping to be getting our first travel trailer. I see people with their satelite dishes at the campgrounds and wondered how it worked. Do I need to have a membership or account with a satelite...

When you travel out of your area, call DishNetwork and tell them you're in a different area and give them the zip code for that area. We are currently in Arizona and are watching the Arizona local channels. :)
We have DISH TV (about 5 months now), switched from Direct. Our home has 3 receivers. One is a dual receiver, the other 2 are singles. When they came to install DISH, we purchased another satellite dish and tripod from them. One of the single receivers in the spare bedroom has made it's way to the camper. Once you've done it, setting up the satellite dish is not hard, sometimes time consuming, but not hard. So, set up the dish, connect to the receiver, connect the receiver to the television and that's it.
The only down side with our plan, we get local channels only locally (central Indiana). If we travel outside the area, we get all the other channels, like always, but the local channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS) don't come in.
That's how we do it.
