We use DIRECTVNow. Works on either wifi or your cellular connection. If your an Att wireless customer it doesn't go against your data.
It's a good option if you're consistently where you have either a good WIFI or Cellular connection. I hate that they, and others, don't list the available stations anywhere on their website.
Maybe, maybe not. We are located within 40 miles of Baltimore and Washington yet reception is spotty. Meanwhile, we are able to get a strong signal from the CBS station in Dover, Delaware which is probably some 80 miles distant. Make no assumptions about the viability of any OTA tv signal at any particular location.If you're within 50 miles of a TV broadcast antenna, you can buy an HD TV antenna, which will pick up most of the regular broadcast channels (CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX) as we'll as many other non-cable channels. You can find them at Amazon (where else?), or even Wal-Mart.

What is funny is that I have TV aboard with over the air antenna and get more channels while at anchor than at the marina, don't know why?
............ I'd love to go to Savannah and walk the town.
Seems odd. You know you're just around the corner from me, and we get decent coverage, given networks and their secondary stations and so forth.

When it comes time to change locations as transient boaters do, one just needs to call Dish (or on-line), and enter a new zip code. Voila! New locals! Far easier than DirecTV.
Ok, how much do you really watch local stations when in an area not local to you? We don't even watch them much when home.
All the time,, CBS,NBC,ABC, Fox local news.
local weather and usually a little national news
They carry sports, CBS will carry the Masters
and Fox, the US OPEN.
So TV is important to me at certain times. I don't
live by the tv but its a nice option to have.
Internet too, paying my bills, checking my emails,
so if I'm going to do this for 2 months a year, I like to
stay informed.
True Internet is as necessary as clean diesel.
TV is a luxury, like A/C
Remember probably 95% of TV are hooked to some sort of provider , so a great tuner is not a priority any longer for TV man.
