I also have success frequently with over the air (OTA) channels for local news.


That is how I did TV and with two DVR's that were "Chatty" (Talked to each other shared shows) I occasionally ran out of disc space.

How well a cell phone or cellular hot spot works depends on the campground and the nearest cell tower. Some were not that well connected.

Remember height is Might at Cellular frequencies. a "My-Fi" device in a pelican case atop a flag pole may work better than the same thing inside the RV.


Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Watching TV is now the new Camping. Who wouldda thought?


How old are you? We had a camper with a TV over 45yrs ago. It was nothing unusual back then.

Of course, now we split time spending 6-12 months of the year in the camper, so yeah, we watch TV.

Look closely at your carriers data package, Then look at the others, do they have coverage where you are, or plan on going?
ATT (and the others too I'm sure) offers a hotspot plan for data only that gives 100 gigs for $55 a month. T-mobile claims unlimited data on their plans, but has little to no coverage where I live, so have not tried them.
t-mob home internet
This is meant to be a home unit, will need a 120 household power source, but a small inverter could easily handle it for remote usage.
