    Great Answer

    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    On One Hand: Consider Alternatives

    RVers who usually stay in upmarket resort RV parks generally don't need satellite TV. Most resorts, such as Flag City in Lodi, provide TV cable hookups.

    TV antennas in an RV can pick up local broadcast stations. Alternatives to satellite TV include Internet (wireless and satellite).

    On the Other: There are Advantages

    So long as the RV has power, satellite TV can provide entertainment and useful information like weather reports, even in the middle of nowhere. Little power is needed to run the descrambler and the TV or laptop computer. (A typical RV LCD TV needs around 20W.)

    Wireless isn't always available. Satellite Internet is expensive (HughesNet basic service is $59/month) and the equipment is expensive to buy and install (per a recent Good Sam Club magazine ad, around $2,000.)

    Bottom Line

    If you relax by watching TV, satellite is a sure way to get what you need and enjoy the comforts of home. You can always try broadcast TV and Internet alternatives first. If they don't work for you, get satellite.

    Dish Network has something called Dish Tailgater , due to come out later this year, it costs half the price of comparable products currently on the market. Its a automatic, HD compatible antenna that needs no additional power cord--just plug into your Dish Network 211k receiver and your good to go. Nice to have so you don't miss the game!
