We only really use our TV to give the kids (10,8,4) some downtime to cool off, have snacks and rehydrate.

Usually where we camp the scenery goes away at night ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/awink.gif "awink") .... that's when the TV comes on!

When camping, I always enjoy a good book...fiction...to pass the time. Preferably outside, sitting in a camp chair. With a beverage. Dog at my feet.
And for the past few years, if we watch TV in the camper, it' usually Little house on the prairie DVD -- always seems fitting to watch when camping.
But that's just me!

True, but TV is Far from the #1 worry when setting up, I run up the old Batwing, No reception, the batwing comes back down. Last of that worry. If I Really want to watch something at night, we've got about 200 DVD's, and most times don't watch them either, watching the campfire is more relaxing.

I know this won't make sense to a lot of you, but one of the two satellites we use is old and literally falling out of the sky - it won't be usable soon. Unfortunately the other satellite doesn't have footprint in Florida where we go for the winter - so soon, no Canadian content. If I can't get CANCON via streaming (lots of geofencing and VPN blocking involved) I may just quit RVing (in the winter).
Yes, I read books, watch bluray and stream movies, but that's not enough (maybe - it's a big decision).

I had visitors come to Alaska from Texas...just fly/drive, not RV'ng..never been to AK before, wanted to see bears, mountains, go fishing, etc. Planned an itinerary for them to include 90% of what they wanted...they get up here and "Oh, this won't work. On Sunday and (in this case) Thursday, we have to be where we can watch the Cowboys play." ....but it's Alaska, your "dream trip"....nope, got to be in town where we can watch the Cowboys. There went the bear viewing (Sunday) and the fishing (Thursday). Different priorities.

I sure don't miss cable TV at home or on the road RVing. Free Streaming is a winner for me when available or back to my DVDs and books.

I'm still baffled why people are so concerned and judgmental about what someone else is doing. How do you know they left due to inability to watch TV, and why do you care?
