Used to do the satellite thing.
We already had to have cell phone with unlimited plan, so internet based TV + some local channels with the antenna works out easier and better.
About the only thing we struggle with is college football (and presumably other live sporting events)
It seems like those so-called unlimited cell phone plans may be unlimited on amount of data ... but they're not unlimited on how long their download speed will last before speed-throttling sets in.
When this throttling happens, you're pretty much limited on any serious video streaming after that ... just net-surfing, emails, and texting once the speed-throttling limit starts. For instance, we watch a lot of broadband streaming material at our residence and our amount of data used each month can easily be 3-5 hundred megabytes or more at our full purchased speed - no throttling up to a 1 Terabyte of data per month, which we've never reached.
Not that we'd ever need a Terabyte of cell phone based data per month on RV trips for streaming, but something like 300 megabytes per month at broadband speeds sure would be nice during our trips.
What we'd like in our RV is broadband Internet access via a large network (like Verizon, for instance) that's unlimited on data, does NOT THROTTLE at any reasonable level, and costs around $45 per month - just like home.
