Hi Folks,
Been gone a while. Kinda busy because I have two kids now and upgraded to a bunkhouse 5th wheel. That's for a different thread sometime.
Twenty some years ago, I had DirectTV for a while. It was a pain setting it up every time and a lot of extra stuff to carry. I'm thinking about getting it again because we are running into parks with no TV hookups and no signal, so....
I am an AT&T wireless customer for both phone and internet. We have two phones and one hot-spot on the same account, runs about $200 per month.
Since AT&T bought DirecTV, there are obviously some package deals going on.
What is the best solution? If I get it directly from them, supposedly there is no equipment cost, but they think I'm in a fixed location.
I have three TVs. I checked into antenna options. The best is a roof mount that handles three tvs simultaniously with only one receiver (I think) but it is almost $2000. Out of my budget. There is this portable dome shaped antenna for about $450 that can be mounted on the roof or set on the ground, but it only handles one TV at a time.
That leaves me with the pole or tripod mount version, which I haven't checked the price yet, but that used to take a lot of time and hassle to set up when I had one before.
Then, how do they deal with homeless people these days? They used to give us two local feeds, one from east coast and one from west coast. What is the latest on this issue.
I've been out of touch and very uninformed on this subject because I've been just hooking up to Park Cable all these years.
Please educate me!
Thanks!
