Satellite TV?

We had the Dish-on-a-tripod setup when we began RVing in our Airstream. Setting up was frustrating enough when trying to lock in three satellites with a nominal signal using the on screen strength meter; but in addition, when trying to set up in cold/rain/windy weather using a 50 ft. cable to reach a clear spot, it was beyond miserable.  When we moved up to a Class A, we installed a one button does all Winegard Dish and made it a practice to avoid parking under trees. . .just parked near enough to enjoy them without being near enough to screw up the Dish.  

We had DirectTV for years, but when the bills started pushing $200, we finally unplugged.  Turns out we could get all the cable channels we care about over the internet with "DirectTV Now" for $40/month.  We added an antenna in the attic for the locals -- and picked up about a dozen oldies channels we never knew existed.  We use an Amazon Firestick in all the TV's, which got rid of all the satellite boxes and wiring.  And we added an over-the-air DVR that rebroadcasts over wifi to the firesticks, so we even get live antenna TV anywhere in the house without any wires.  The total conversion cost about $1000, which paid back in a few months.

We tried taking a Firestick on the road with us last time out, but discovered that the free WIFI at the RV park didn't have the bandwidth.  It worked fine with one of our cellphones set up as a hotspot, though.  For the savings on our TV bill, we could upgrade our cell phone service to unlimited and still come out ahead, but even that weekend's TV watching didn't bust our limit that month.  For part-timers like us, it might not be worth it.

Instead of spending the bucks for a satellite antenna, you might look into the cellphone hotspot/firestick idea, unless you typically camp where there's no cellphone service.  

Wally unless things have changed must find all 3 sattelites to work.  Suggest you return for older Vh model  make enough noise and dealer you bought it from should do this for you.. They know this is a problem.

Just to update this thread we did get the Wally to match our at home DISH subscription.  With the exception of trees blocking reception at some parks, it has worked well.

I don't understand the above comment about three satellites but I can say the Wally has worked fine for us on the west coast.  Have not tried using it on east coast yet so that might be the difference?
