Hulu and other online TV services

Believe it or not, hulu.com, fubo.tv and youtube TV all work if you have a decent internet connection. All offer a free week to try it out and then are approximately $40 per month with no contract.
I watch right on my laptop and am currently using free wifi. These services use about 1GB per hour in bandwidth so keep that in mind if your internet data use is a factor.

I checked out KODI and don't understand how you get "everything".

We use our AT&T mobile phone with unlimited data as a hot spot and a Roku on tthe tv.  We have Direct TV Now installed on the Roku.  With this setup we have direct TV everywhere on multiple devices--- TV, Ipad, Iphone and it works everywhere.  We cancelled our cable.  Cost for Direct TV Now is $20 per month.

Sounds great. How much is your monthly ATT mobile phone and unlimited data bill?

It takes a while to understand KODI  (the old XBMC) and all the add-ons possible. Since many of the OPTIONAL add-ons have late movies on their site, they are in a grey area to some viewers, illegal to others depending on how you see things.  KODI keeps from being sued this way. There are KODI boxes on Craigslist that come with many or most all of these add-ons. Or, you can just download KODI on your MAC, Chromebook/Android or PC and install the add-ons yourself. KODI has a bit of a learning curve but with a little practice, it works OK as long as you have the bandwith. Think of it as an underground source.

Netflix and ROKU also work great and have your local news free for just about any area or lots of Euro news. Many ROKU add-ons are free with others like ACORN with all the English/OZ/Kiwi movies for $4.95/mo. We love ACORN. ROKU has almost no learning curve. Netflix is only slightly different so nothing to change from one to the other. Later smart TVs now have Netflix and Roku built in.

Motortrend is another good site with either $4.95/mo on ROKU or the just expired $29.95/year or $2.99/mo on any computer/tablet/phone for a ton of car racing, tests, etc. I just watched Le Mans on it this last weekend.

We have a grandfathered Verizon unlimited MiFi card for $100 a year but I don't think we have to pay as the account is up to $600 with nothing taken out. I don't understand that but not complaining.

Next is sticking a good WiFi antenna on your coach so you can get the internet much further away than the campground office.

We have DirecTV Now, Prime Video, PBS, CBS AllAcces, NetFlix and a half dozen more all on two ATT Home Base boxes and a netGear Nighthawk streaming 450 GB/month.  $110/month unlimited plus data plan, DirecTV is $25/mo.  Internet access at three locations including the coach, and two land lines included plus my iPhone.  Services we got rid of saved us more than $290/month.  More than the total ATT cost

This is truly a great time to be alive. I have a great wifi antenna and have cut my Verizon bill (Single Device Plan) down to $10 a month. The Hulu TV service has the best channel package for me @ $40 per month.
Oh, and I use Google Voice and Groove IP for phone service.
