We don't set up long-term anywhere - lots of boondocking and 1-3 day stops. We got tired of poor reception, poor cable, and poor internet.

I have a computer program called PlayOn. It turns a computer into a DVR. We choose a selection of tv series, documentaries (that we never seem to get around to), and movies - from Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc. and record them on a portable hard drive.

In the RV, it is easiest with our set-up to plug the hard drive into the USB port on the front of our DVD and use that remote to play the recordings. We also spend a fair number of nights with no shore power, so we carry a 17" laptop which doubles as a TV for our digital recordings, so our binges are not interrupted no matter where we are.

This leaves us dependent on radio for news and weather... but with a smart phone and radio, we just don't watch over the air TV anyway.
