we do not. We use the TT antenna and have a cable connection for parks that have it..
We cannot get satellite at home, without a substantial investment in Stihl chainsaws... I watch very little TV when we are camping, so no reason to invest in Sat service.. TV is mostly used for kids watching movies when they need to relax...
We don't have cable or a satellite dish at the campground, but we do have a DVD player for watching movies. Only used the antenna one time just to see if it worked.

We do not use Satellite at all. We do usually have cable at the CG's we stay at but I only watch TV late at night before I head to bed or on a rainy day when staying outside is uncomfortable.

We do not stop playing because we grow old, We grow old because we stop playing!
Digital channels come in great on the batwing, however, we have not been over 50 miles from home yet. We have SAT for movies and CNN. Also, hopefully we will be able to get our local channels on SAT while we are traveling away from the home base.
The BATWING has not changed in years, as for boost/amp. I have had problems receiving TV this last year in the south, I can get some TV with people telling me to send all my money to them, and I would be promised a place in the, here after, As for Net work TV, poor reception. I got a small antenna from Home Cheapo, and fastened it to the batwing and it boosted the signal a lot. I have checked on going back to Dish, but the networks have doubled in price the last few years, $10.95 now, it was $4.95 for ABC, NBC,CBS, and FOX.
I guess I could set around, and watch wood burn, but I can't stand the excitement or smell.
We used to always set up the dish and now it has been about 2 years since we bothered. We leave the dish and receiver at home. We seldom watch much of the garbage that is on and we can usually get some news via off-air somewhere.

Too hard to take down the 10' C band sat dish and carry it along with us. Only use the bat wing and DVDs when we go out. Bat wing to watch local news and weather and DVD to watch movies in the evenings or when its raining.
One of the main reasons why I camp is to get away from things...I have no use for television while camping. We bring along a few dvds for the kids to watch, that's it.
I use the batwings but just for looks I dont watch much tv unless its raining and if there is no reception I did go out and buy a digital tv and it works fine sometimes if nothing else I have a dvd player
we didn't have a set in our pup,,we just bought a lcd for out TT and tried it out at home with the batwing,problem I had was the chanels that come in clear with the batwing seem to come in distorted with the booster on,,,btw,the television is for rainy days only,as we keep occupied while camping,,,happy trails
