Thursday January 28th 2016

Today was another foggy, rainy, drizzly day.   For the first time since I moved into my RV home, I didn’t open the motorhome door all day. Thank goodness for TV and the Internet.
The current crop of RVs, my RV home included, come well populated with flat screen TVs. I have three; one in the bedroom, one in the Living Area and a third for viewing outside under the awning. This floor plan could also have a second TV in the Living area over the dashboard, but I prefer the storage. The signal for these TVs can come from an Over the Air Antenna (OTA), a Cable TV hook-up or a Satellite dish. This campground doesn’t have cable so I’m down to two sources, OTA and DirecTV Satellite. My DirecTV comes via a big honking Winegard Trav’ler dish on the roof of the motorhome.

The main living area TV

At this location, south of Orlando and East of Tampa, I have over 80 channel options of OTA TV. Many of these are duplicates of the new crop of “designer” networks like Bounce, Grit or Cozi. These provide plenty of options for benign noise while doing other things.
When I want to dedicate time to watching television, I need to be a little more selective. That’s where satellite TV comes in to play. I can usually find something more engrossing like an original series on USA, or another episode of House Hunters on HGTV.

After spending today vegetating, tomorrow looks to be packed full with another visit to Disney World. This time I’m heading to the Animal Kingdom Park.
