bizsmith@yahoo.com Report post Posted August 23, 2012 Are there other people out there that do without TV? It always amuses us to see how quickly the satellite dishes get deployed when people pull in to a campground. We do have a small set that we set up once in a while but we stay mostly in state parks that may be isolated from reception via antenna. On one trip we set up the TV one time in five months.

aztec7fan Report post Posted August 23, 2012 After 3 years in our current coach, I can say I have only used our TV once to watch anything from Cable/Sat/Broadcast. The kids are usually using our TV to play the PS3 or we are enjoying the outside or playing games. Ocasionally we will put in a movie to watch. I actually removed our bat-wing antenna and hooked up to cable once to watch a sporting event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbutler Report post Posted August 25, 2012 We were without TV once. Out in the middle of nowhere, Nebraska with no on air signal. We were in a state park and there was no cable feed. On top of that we were parked under a big tree and we couldn't get a thing with the KVH dish. Before the two day stay ended I ran out of liquor and was chewing on the tires! I've learned to ask if we can have a nice clear sky site for DirecTV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been there, done that, we are not "camping", we are living in many different places during our golden years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nitehawk Report post Posted August 25, 2012 Statistically the birthrate is probably higher for campers sans TV, especially during rainy seasons!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obedb Report post Posted July 13, 2014 My inlaws used tv to tranquilize my DW while they played bridge. I was one of the first to subscribe to Direct TV to please she who must be obeyed . I have little choice in the matter after 44 years of wedded bliss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
