It works great but we are usually able to get good wifi using WeBoost which boosts signals from the campground or other sources and makes them good, usable signals. If that doesn't work well, then we use the ATT hotspot. Another source we use is Fire Stick to watch Netflix and other apps. Also, we have Xbox which also uses apps like Netflix and Spectrum app (Cable app). It's good to have a backup plan or two (I hate missing a ballgame) and these are inexpensive in the long run and all are easy setup.
Sling box has been my answer too. Totally because I don't want to miss a game either --hockey in my case. I would be interested in another option while on the road (since I burn though data only plans for my Unite hotspot;-) So a really basic question: If I got Direct or Dish (which ever has pay as you go)…………….. could I tune into a hockey game broadcasted on my local station even while on the road?
