TV, Satellite, Cable ETC:

[Stepheng1]

Any Recommendations for TV viewing? some RV parks do not provide or have available cable TV what do any of you full timers use for TV other than antenna?

[Stepheng1]

will not be using anything for now, cost is the issue so we will rely on the antenna.

We cut the satellite. 159.00 or so a month, and the Mh not in use more than one or two months, total.
Still have good antenna reception in many places and cable.
An if we have too MIFI.

That is why dish was such a good deal for me. It is like 105$ for home and rv, 5$ of that being rv.

Can you describe your setup? Hopper w/Sling? What unit do you have in your RV?
Reason I ask is I have Hopper w/sling and Joeys for my home but am adding Dish to my 5er and am trying to figure out what to do. Shor

While moving either requires

traveling only along a freeway through a well populated area which will have strong cell phone access. She can stream her program live to her phone or tablet.

The other option is an 'In-Motion' satellite dish setup. Those are only suitable for Class A and some Class C rigs and are not cheap.

My wife watches one half hour a day to keep her balanced. What are the different ways to watch the how when moving or standing still?

ATT just announced a new iPhone/ iPad direct tv app. ATT users will now be able to watch tv without any data limits on this app. Great news for direct tv viewers who cannot get a satellite signal due to blockage but can get a cellular signal. TV over the Internet is coming closer.

T-Mobile has had unlimited Video Stream for some time now, and not just their pet source either, but several sources.

Same for Music streaming.

AT&T is just playing catchup and not doing it well, once again.

I have dish too and can watch my recordings and home tv but I have to watch my data limits on my phone. I have no trouble with download speeds with ATT lte service on my iPhone. The key to the direct tv offer there is no data limits for watching tv on the app.

Yes, since my average urban area RV campground has a 3 bar LTE ATT signal - I can almost watch video. Only three or four staggers every minute. However, for my daughter in Plano - it is a great app/ option/ benefit.

Oh BTW, ATT won't sell me Direct TV because I'm a full-timer without a SB home/ address even after announcing the new app. The new app plan doesn't apply to mobile users outside their home area - according to ATT customer service/ sales.

ATT will convert me to a new unlimted data plan with no overage, however, they will drop my download speeds down to 3G after 5GB each month.

1. Many CGs don't have cable TV. If they do, sometimes the picture quality is so low it's hard to watch.

Yes Outdoors resorts Indio charges as much as $2500 per month and their cable is so bad its hardly watchable.not many channels and NO HD TV

I have Xfinity cable TV. I can watch any programming, including the DVR programs I saved, from my laptop. As long as there is wifi, I can watch anything I would have been able to watch at home on my cable. With a personal HOTSPOT, I have my wifi.
