As a new liveaboard, I am trying to figure out the best way to receive TV. The marina I am at does not have cable. I would really like to have direct tv but the cost for the antenna alone (KVH) is not in the budget right now. I was thinking about ROKU stick. We also do not have Wi-Fi. I would use my cell phone as a hotspot. I have 10GB of data now but would upgrade to probably 40GB a month. I only am cruising the ICW for now so cell coverage is not a problem but want to watch while at anchor.
The questions I have, are there other options? With Air-TV I only receive about 10 channels and half of those are crap. How much streaming would 40GB actually get me? (No music and no HD just the tv shows and movies that I want to watch) I have thousands of movies on a external Hard drive so please don't say DVD's, this is primarily for television shows and cable series.
What are others using? I am tech challenged so if it's not in laymans terms you'll lose me.
Thanks
