I've been looking at getting a dish for the camper. I have DirectTV and the cheapest I've found online is $500. Anyone know if there's a cheaper option?

If you can hot spot your phone, you should be able to get all streaming with a smart TV, or use a ROKU

We have good cell service at campground but watching TV uses a lot of data

I use my cell phone hot spot all the time for tv streaming and haven't had an issue with unlimited data. I use the base plan unlimited from Verizon and watch I would say close to 3 hours a day 3-4 days a week with it. It will throttle you if it needs to after your set hotspot usage is up but that has been few and far between. May want to try it if you have unlimited data.

Also verizon offers wifi internet and that may be cheaper then adding anything to a satellite account. Usually just an add on to your Verizon account like $20 a month.
