Antenna vs. Satellite vs. wifi stream

For those that do a good mix of locations of camping what do you prefer? We know the afte pros and cons and we don't want to spend all of our time glue to devices but when we need to we want speed and reliability.

We are the type that will set up at a campground, boondock or just a remote farm. So we're curious about your set ups.

We have the batwing antenna that provides OTA(over the air) reception, our Winegard Trav’ler dish with a box at each television, and also Netflix and Firestix on both televisions that work through our hotspot WiFi device. So, with all that, we usually have entertainment. Also, if all that fails, we have DVD players for both TV’s.

Same here minus the satellite!
Nowadays with the newer fixed antennas I don't think they pull in nearly as many stations. Also from this & other forums the newer KeyTv system is a royal PITA!

We have the Winegard 360+ for OTA stations. We use cable when available. We also use our iPhone as a wi-fi hot spot for streaming Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. on the smart TV.

We use all at one time or another, and a DVD player when all else fails.
