I was actually impressed with the quality of the picture comparing it to my 3-4 flat screens at home (one is only a year old Samsung). You can buy a cable box for $25 if you would like to have one. As it is, more people are "cutting the cord" from cable TV providers and going to streaming feeds (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon etc). I think it is more important nowadays to have a good strong Internet connection at the RV campgrounds.
My only problem with that is, I am not out to enjoy nature every night. Many days, it is just RV Park to RV Park until I get to a certain destination for a more lengthy stay. On those nights onthe road, if the RV park has cable, I would like to be able to use it. I have "cut the cord" at home. The problem with streaming in the RV is if I want to stream a ballgame, by the time I've watched one game, I've used up my monthly allotment of data at usable speeds. I have an unlimited data plan from Verizon, but it slows down to a crawl after you've used 15gb. I agree with your comment about picture quality. My Seikis, one 40" and two 32", are as goid as my Sony at home. Also, just as an aside, not all RVers do it to commune with nature, there are many different reasons people RV.
