We just bought our travel trailer after upgrading from a popup camper. In the popup, we just used a digital antenna and got over the air service. We weren't camping to watch TV, so it was just fine with us. However, we just retired, got the new RV and plan on spending more time on the road, so will upgrade to streaming. Having said that, after buying the RV, we are hemorrhaging money buying all the stuff we need just to operate it. So, the streaming set up is gonna have to wait. Thanks for the video, it was very informative.
We are just now researching how to get TV on our RV. This video was very informative. I wish we could get a stronger wifi signal for streaming.
We have DirecTV at home so I wish we could use it on our RV without such a costly investment. We just want to be able to watch a little TV at night.
Just found your channel. I subscribed after watching 2 videos. I plan on going back and watch all your older videos. Nice Channel !!!!!!!!
Glad to have you here. Welcome aboard! - MJ
We usually have to deal with over the air but are glad you’ve given us other options cause over the air is disappointing. We do have a cable cord but we usually are more non private campgrounds. We were offered a satellite from the people we ordered our Airstream for, but I was so old, we thought it wouldn’t be worth it. I’m thinking the Roku May be our best option-internet streaming.
Yep we went right to the steaming. It has work out very well for us so far. Thanks for watching and comment.
Izzy
Great Info! We watch a lot OTA do we have a Leaf. It actually has a 40 mile range. Since are stationary right now we use ATT unlimited internet to stream the usual suspects.
Lou
Wow 40 mile range is great. We also have grandfathered ATT plan so we stream all day. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Izzy
haha You know me. I stream everything. I was streaming everything in my sticks and bricks and just carried that over. When the internet is not good enough we just watch videos. Great information and should help anyone getting started to get going.
Streaming is the bomb lol. Thanks for watching William and the comment.
Izzy
Da Bear here. Great video and often wondered about tv options in RV life. For over the air, would you have an option to hook up another type of antenna? Know some antennas perform better than others as well as the type of tuner one has. Often wondered how well the rv antennas worked. Have you got to experience any area that is offering ATSC 3.0 channels? My area doesn't have it nor is my tv have an ATSC 3.0 tuner. Question on the satellite option. Which networks (local affiliations) do you have options to since you are moving from town to town? Use OTA, satellite and streaming now. Love streaming but always found it to be a headache half the time. No net, no channels. Password resetting every so often and then buffering. Can you get tablo to record over the air? Great video and thank you. Hope that streaming tv is not the future as it has so many disadvantages. Plus it will cost so much more for streaming content will be scattered among pay subscriptions. Again, great video. Paws up on the video. Bears don't have thumbs.
I would love to come over from this side of the pond in Brexitland 🏴 and buy an r.v. (Especially after recently seeing that Prevost for $150K on Andrew Steeles channel) and experience the American dream. Live life and have fun guys, take care.🤗
Come over and rent one for a few weeks, take one back to the UK and show them what American RV’s are like lol. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Izzy
We went from satellite to streaming, but I also carry coax cable. I had my dish on the RV but also one on a tripod that I could move to the edge of the site away from trees. Streaming is becoming the new norm for RVers. The advantage is that with the new smart TVs is that you don't need to depend on HDMI cabling and splitters.
Hey Roy. So glad you said this. I see so many people hung up in the satellite thing. Steaming is certainly the future especially with smart TV’s. We cut the cord at home close to 2 years now and love it. Just streamed TV for days straight at a campground with no issues.
Thanks for watching and the comment.
Izzu
I only stream. I dumped dish a year ago the went up from $72 to $118 / mo for same content.
I streamed from Mobil and back to Dallas Detroit D.C. and Miami and streamed TH-cam classic rock videos and it only dropped out temporarily a few times.
I'm going to buy a 12v tv when I decide on one and just stream my phone to it.
@@TerryblountAs in web TV, right?
We have internet with a roku. It sounds as if you can get internet access you can put a roku in. I have just started looking at rvs good to know. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I would be very interested in see your set up and how you access the Internet on your RV.
Thanks for watching and the comment
Izzy
Great tips,I use my Winegard in motion,It came standard on my Senaca,it’s $40 a month when I turn it on. So its pay as you go. I would love to have your WiFi set up !
Awesome Don. So far we have loved our Internet setup. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Great information I love it I do the same as you I only stream!!
We love streaming. Has worked well for us. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Izzy
Good content
Thank you for the kind words.
Izzy
I'VE BEEN TO A COUPLE OF CAMP GROUNDS WITH CABLE, YET, I COULDN'T GET CABLE UNTIL I OVER THE AIR SEARCHED CHANNELS ON ANOLOG, THATS WEIRD, BUT IT WORKED, MY LIL ROUND ROOF TOP ANTENNA ON MY 2019 HIDEOUT IS 1 ROUND PIECE OF JUNK, THINKING ABOUT GETTING ONE THAT I CAN SET UP ON A POLE BUT HAVING TO THINK HOW TO WIRE IT, ALWAYS SOMETHING 😀
Hello, great video. I use Apple TV and connect using my Winegard on the roof. Sometimes the campgrounds offer internet, but their services are not great. Another trick anyone can do;is to air drop from your iphone to your Apple TV. I’m not sure if AT&T still offers direct tv now, but you can watch your favorite shows on your iphone/iPad not using any data, and stream via Apple TV, so that you can watch it on the big screen.
Excellent suggestion on the Apple TV. I don’t use it and did not know you Moreiro you phone to the Apple TV. You just gave me some ideas!!
Thanks for watching and comment.
Izzy
Curious question... I bought a Winegard and purchased 10 gig for 30 days. We used it up in 2 days. Their customer service questioned if we were using fire stick or apple tv and said there is a lot of upload/download activity with those devices. Is there some sort of trick to using their data?
We like streaming too. I just have to get a set up like you guys now. Lol
We just stream for 7 straight days lol. We love our setup!!
Thanks for watching and the comment.
Izzy
Internet connect needed to use the Roku?
We stay at a campground that doesn’t offer Wi-Fi. We stream tv good off my hotspot but it is not strong enough (guessing) to watch movies. Any suggestions as to how I can make the Wi-Fi stronger??? I really want to watch live Georgia Football games in the fall.
We use Verizon unlimited data plan that we were grandfathered into from years ago and use a Roku on our TV, works great for us.
Awesome glad you have something that you like. - MJ
How do you set that up? I have a Roku remote control for my Roku tv but how do you turn on the tv?
Great info. We just had a satelite mounted and use Directv.
Excellent!
My parents have winegard 360+. They can't get another channels to come up even with the trailer in the backyard. Any ideas on why? Thank you.
New to RV living. I have been working via hotspot and laptop which I’m sure you know is good until it’s not. I’m in the San Juan Islands. We want to set up our RV, sailboat, and motor yacht. Our living expenses are under 2k per month and don’t want to pay a lot to have reliable streaming from our homes. Any ideas? You guys are awesome and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with everyone ❤
Starlink
Are you able to watch ABC, NBC, CBS when on these alternate systems. For example, TH-cam? It’s a bit confusing to me. We are older but try to stay tech savvy? So much to know
Yes Patricia. You get all your local channels on TH-cam TV, not to be confused with TH-cam. Hope that helps.
Izzy
We cut the cable for YouTude TV. Best thing we ever did.
We agree! TH-cam TV is fantastic.
I do have all three satellite over the air antenna and Internet. My TV is on 24 seven cannot sleep without it. Something happens during night and I’ll sleeping I’m awake. I do not get involved with a space that has to do trees I do have solar energy I need to think about.
Use all 4 with a matrix box
Just regular tv or cable if campground has it and take a lot of DVD’s
Paula Johnson whatever works for you is what is best. Thanks for watching and the comment
Izzy
Starlink RV, period.
Period? (Question mark)
We use my phone as a hotspot and stream thru a Firestick. I have AT&T so coverage is usually pretty good. I was really surprised that we use less than a gig/hour of data for HD.
That's great. Glad you have something that works well for you! - MJ
Is your firestick broken? I need something with high speed cellular and unlimited data. Looking at the netgear nighthawk mr2200 as a hotspot.
MJ and Izzy, can I do the streaming with my Verizon service and Galaxy 8 phone and use it as a hotspot? Will that always work? Or only work when I have Wi-Fi? I'm assuming it's like a 30 buck more a month for the hot spot service? If you could elaborate on that that that would be great because we would be happy just having fire stick.
PS- I have unlimited data.
As long as your phone can be used as a hotspot your fine. Just keep in mind many times “hotspot service” is no unlimited. The data you use on your phone is unlimited but not the data used via the hotspot feature. Just check you plan to verify.
A dedicated lte modem with external antennae mounted to roof will work a lot better. There is a guy in Chester NY who sells really good modems. I bought one from him.
@@EndlessRVing Thank you for the info. I'm not too far from Chester (Pine Bush NY) maybe you can give me his info. I like the idea of a separate modem with its own service and paying extra for that service and not using my phone for a hot spot. I watched some other videos as well and it seems like I could do that without an extra antenna on the roof. But im open to all options.
@@yobabybubba mobile tech rescue (Chester Ny)
@@EndlessRVing thank you 👍
What about using firestick?
What about it?
How do get to the rear of the tv to access the inputs?
It depends on your tv setup but you just have to get to the back of the tv. If wall mounted, then you would have to unmount.
This doesn’t apply to Canada which is what I searched!
Great content. Lose the sunglasses though. :)
Thanks for watching
Izzy
check
Projector ?
You still need a signal source. Thanks for watching
Izzy
Of course the new stuff is all "web based"...easier to see (and hear & track) you my dear...lol
LEO for 20 years. It’s real easy to track you ;)
Izzy
@@EndlessRVing I agree but it is getting worse...I like to make em work for it:)
You have a cell phone? You can be tracked.
@@EndlessRVing Nope have the freedom (flip) phone battery comes out but nice try...lol
Lol ok. Guess you are off the grid also? No ATM, CC, public utilities, mail, mortgage, bank accounts, Gmail, Internet, ez pass, loans, kids with the same last name, no cameras in your neighborhood, You get my point lol.
Thanks for watching.
No need tv when camping
You look like Brian laundrey
Excellent comment.
