Television in the camper: Yes, we use it while getting going in the morning, calm the little one down so she'll go to sleep (normally a DVD) and if the weather is crappy. I'd rather be outside. The point of camping for me is to mostly (not totally) unplug. I leave the phones on the counter when I go outside and have even been known to head off to Walmart without my phone.
Does make it diffifult to find the rest of you party when you get separated though
We normally use the air signal through our roof mounted antenna, if I can find the right direction to point it.
If the CG has cable tv, I'll get out my cable tv cable and hook it up to the post. Remembering to turn off the amplifier for the antenna.
last resort is to pull out my phone and use its internal "mobile hotspot" feature to stream Netflix's to the tv (mini HDMI cable from phone to tv)
If I full timed I'd probably get a dish, but the tv is just not important to me at this time. I like the features Mitch has were the antenna will find the satellites on its own. All those little motors and computer to point the dish costs money, but heck I'm worth it.
I have two Droid Raxor Maxx phones with built in Mobile Hotspots which use my band. I can stream internet to the laptop, Kindle's or any other WiFi capable device (up to 8 at one time I believe). We use Verizon with a "share everything plan" and I get 8 GB a month. We normally use around 4-5 GB per month (Verizon bill around $180 a month). The 4G LTE connection to the Verizon system is faster than the free WiFi at our favorite CG and more reliable.
I can also connect my phones, like a WiFi capable laptop to the WiFi Hotspots at the CG, home or McDonald's, you name the place and not effect my band with usage.
and The William too!
