I want sattelite tv in my RV. Can I get it with my laptop and Verison aircard to my laptop and then to my tv??

Question

I hear there are routers out ther that can do this and software our there to install in my laptop. Which way do I go and what equipment do I buy, thanks guys, Fletch, [e-mail]

Answer 1

i hate to break it to you but your decision to go with verizon for an air card is a bad one, especially if you plan on watching video streams. Their unlimited data plan is capped at 5 gigabytes a month. that's about 2-3 hours of streaming video. you go over the quota, they cancel your service.

if you want sattelite tv, in your rv, i reccomend getting a sattelite dish. truckers have been using them for years, they strap a pvc pipe onto their mirrors, and put the dish in the pipe when they park.

Answer 2

I would hook the Tv to the Laptop if the laptop is equipt or you would have to buy a coverter:

Or you can use this low profile satellite made for autos
