Brother, there isn't the mark of the beast (666) tattooed on our forehead.
Each one of us is cataloged by that smart phone you have in your pocket and
exchange for Big Brother knowing all about you they gave us "everything".
Anything you want to know or see is on the WWW. With 4g, you can stream
any video you want. Currently, you can go to NBC web site and get their
nightly news along with many other subjects they cut from their 30 min.
show. With Hulu and the dozen other sites, you can see about anything you
want. Sports-- it's there too somewhere. It's all there, all we need to
do if figure out where it's at. Give it a year, all you will need is a
digital (Jack) antenna for local over the air stations and a tethered cell
phone on 4g and the rest of it will be at your fingertips. You are
watching on satellite produced programs and programming, you can get "page
2" -- the stuff they don't talk about ifyou use the WWW!
So unless you just wanna push a button and receive homogenized programming,
there will be other ways-- and much of it is here now. The in motion units
work pretty good, there is a monthly charge, works less good in the rain or
in the shade through a building or a tree. Dish Network is so low in the
sky, obstructions are an issue. Direct TV is higher with less troubles.
Hey man, it's all up to you,
Jim Bounds

I probably am going to catch some flack for this but, what the hey, it
hasn't stopped me yet. (GRIN). What is so important on commercial
television networks, that it overrules quality time spent with families in
an outing in a GMC? Judy and I spent 6 weeks with many of our GMC friends
this summer when we retraced Route 66, and we left our TV set at home.
Never missed it either. World's still turning, too. We did stay in touch
with the stuff that was important, like tow vendors, parts suppliers, RV
parks, Point of interest venues, etc. by using our cellular phones.

Brian,
First off, I want to agree with Jim H.: Their ain't much worth watching
out there! During last summer's trip to the west coast with my 16 yo
grandson, we probably didn't watch 1 hour per month of TV! Can you believe
that with a teenager along? I must admit that we DID spend more than a
little time on the internet. I was using a JetPack on the Verizon network
under a Millenicom 20GB for $69.99 per month plan. That gave us all the
data we needed since we didn't stream any videos.
As for the current flap I've been involved in with Dish Tailgater, that's a
special case: SHE's going along and wants to "keep up with what's going
on". How SHE expects to do that with the broadcast media is a whole 'nother
topic, not for here. While I'll probably keep the Tailgater despite the
fact that it will only work with the western low-in-the-sky satellites
(only costs $414.99 right now thru Amazon), if I were starting over, I'd
try the Winegard Pathway X2 since it, I've now learned, will work with both
eastern and western satellites. That would make it much more likely that
one will be able to achieve line of sight to the satellites. It's not all
that much more expensive ($490.48 right now from Amazon for the same bundle
as the Tailgater).
JWID,
Ken H.

Jim,
as others have mentioned, as long as the prices for LTE don't go down,
using it for streaming TV equivalent is bottom less.
Another thing that needs to be addressed is reception: Satellite
reception is basically everywhere, if you don't park below a large
number of trees. Mobile reception is still spotty, especially when you
are on the move.
The most amusing thing was an ad in Germany for their new 150MBit LTE
connection. Only 9,99EUR a month. Smallprint: for 200MB high speed data,
which goes down to 64kBit after that. GREAT, 10 seconds and all my high
speed data is a thing of the past for the next 29 days...

The price will be right soon, I have no doubt. All that's driven by
marketing. Hey, if ya want sports and all of that-- I have had customers
who MUST have it and that's cool. I'm kinda like Jim H. and others. When
I am out with my wife in the coach, the best way to get her to pout is to
flop down in front of the TV while nature frollicks outside! Been
marrier\d 35 years-- takes a bit but I can be taught...
Being formally in the cunsumer electronics industry it totallt amazes me
the options we have today. And dash radios with all the goodies are
cheap! "Blue Tooth"--- my mind is blown!!! All of it is cool and cheap
compared to the past. Just depends on what's impotant to you.
I have "unlimited" talk & text, unlimited nationwide phone and whatever. I
have worked hard at using my devices--- navigation, Pandora, mail, texting
pics hey , I have never been charged any more than the base cost. Donno
but I'm not paying stupid $ & I can't use all the "time" I have.
It truly is a brave new world in electronics. Hey and you can still get
CB's!

I would also agree that there isn't really much to watch on TV these days. Most places where we camp there are only a few to no local stations that we can get with our antenna and we are too cheap to pay for satellite TV.
However, we do have a large flat screen TV and disc player in our GMC that we mostly use to watch DVD/BlueRay videos. We can watch them together late at night or when its raining outside. Of course we read and have the internet via our 4G iPhones (got to keep track of data usage) tethered to our various devices. Reading and the internet tend to be activities done alone. Watching and discussing a movie is something we can do together. Mostly at the end of a day of traveling, exploring and camping in our GMC. Have to admit though, more often than not, we don't fool with the TV much except for the videos or if there is some breaking news story that we want to follow.
With our current setup, our relatively large flat screen TV does not take up much space in our GMC as opposed to what we had with our bulky old analog CRT TV. So it's there if we want to watch it or not.
