What else could be used to stream to an RV? Does satellite Internet have enough bandwidth? What about campground wifi?
There is no real reliable way to do it without costing a fortune. If the bandwidth is there, Netflix will automatically show the HD version of the show/movie. A 90 minute HD movie can easily consume 2 GB of data. You can manually force Netflix to turn off HD movies, but a standard quality 90 minute video can still consume 750 MB.
The only time I get good enough WiFi at a campground is when the campground only offers WiFi in one central location, like down by the office. Campground wide WiFi is usually barely adequate for checking email. Even when paying for Tengo WiFi or a similar WiFi provider.
