Long story short, King duel sat with 2 dish Walley's. $95 per month for my home and $5 per Wally on the road.

TV? Over the air, only when available... We stream just about everything.

We use Starlink and a firestick on each TV. Somewhat expensive at $150 a month for internet and TV, but it works everywhere!

Thanks everyone. I’m not sure who I’m going to go with. Might change my home service to dish then can get service at camper for 5.00 a month. Currently have charter cable at home. Will do some pricing. Thanks again all

We have had Dish at home for many years and used the $5/month RV plan. Dish made it easy to temporarily change your address to the location you are currently in so that you can get major network stations from the nearest city to your current location. That way we could get local news and weather and normal broadcast programs in the regular time slots for that particular time zone.

We use Amazon Fire Sticks on an AT&T unlimited plan.

Roku televisions. Over the air, even if it sucks, and streaming video on the Roku television. We use Visible and a ZTE dedicated cell phone for a wifi hot spot. However, we plug in a small portable router into the phone and have a wifi signal where multiple devices attach the wifi signal. Visible is truly unlimited, works well, and cost is really decently priced.

We got all those free internet streaming channels now. We can get them on our computers too, since they are all internet sites. But there are thousands upon thousands of free shows, movies, entertainments, reality shows, game shows to select from. There are lots and lots of absolute free channels and if you want premium, you can pay for a paid channel (like Amazon or Disney or something like that).

After the initial investment into a phone (and you don't have to have an expensive one, just something connects to the internet with a data plan), the only other cost is a small router ($20-$30). We're paying $40 a month for Visible, but they do have offers for much less than that now.

We don't depend on campground cable or campground wifi. It's just not dependable, has too much spooling going on, and the selections for viewing just suck too on paid cable.

You can get Direct TV on the internet (no need for all the hardware, the dish, and setting up all that stuff every time you move to a new location.

Dish TV has lost several channels recently. I don't know why anyone would pay a small fortune for such a service and not get what you originally wanted.

Internet television is the wave of the future! That's the direction to go.
