How do you watch tv

Do you stream tv with an unlimited data phone plan, satellite,
rely on rv park cable or over air? I'm trying to make decision if to get HD smart TV, or go to Hulu $40 'real time', or?????
Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Dish Network with a Winegard Trav'ler. It's $5.00 per month when added to my home service. It also has the DVR option if you want it.

Satellite,OTA probable best options, but I have used HULU live through my IPHONE with the AV adapter from APPLE. I have unlimited data. The picture is surprising good. I use HULU live at home as well. Just can't use your IPHONE while you're watching TV. The plan I have doesn't have unlimited data on the hotspot

We use DISH or over the air. If the weather is good, we just read a book.

But I hope I would not find a camping site so boring with nothing to do but watch TV. We've been snowed in but still, it did not prevent us from going outdoors -- which seems to be the point to camping, lol.

We never go camping.
Reason being, that we own a mobile Motel Suite.
As for a stroll or a ride through the woods, we normally do this before darkness sets in.

Bat wing antenna for the most part and there's usually more there, than one could possibly watch in any one evening.
Crisp HD too and unlike most park service, even when it is available, with a decent signal.
Then there's a collection of movies, that we have on board, when all else fails.
If you have a newer smart TV or a media player add-on, you can use a flash drive instead of burning DVD's, for playing downloaded movies or any other content that you might desire.
Main thing here is, it's all for free!

X2 watching Directv and OTA for local channels if able.
Recently put in Smart TVs as streaming is the future and probably sooner than we might think.

While just having made this comment is pretty rude to the OP and most of the responders, you should understand that all travel in an RV is not necessarily camping. There are a variety of reasons people travel in an RV. For me, this is also my home so the TV option is very important. Everyone has different reasons for doing what they do. There's no need to belittle someone for asking a simple question.
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

We use the campground provided cable if available, if not, we use our $30 Wal Mart antenna.

OTA or campground cable. I have a usb stick with a bunch of movies on it. If all else fails we can watch the movies off line.
Thanks,

OTA - Always find at least 5 -6 channels most often in the 30's. Will use camp ground cable if free... Also bring along my usual DVD's...

I do carry the VERIZON SECURE MIFI JETPACK but it is mainly for checking in with the kids, paying a few bills, and some surfing the internet. The JETPACK also ties in all of our tablets etc via WIFI around the camp site...

Not into downstreaming TV or MOVIES when camping...
