    I Bought Starlink RV and perm mounted it so i have internet 24/7. Then i just stream from my fire tv.. unlimited Data and still cheaper then getting direct tv or something in the truck.

    Sign in thru your cable providers app.

    Plug cable from phone into monitor (laptop tv whatever you are using)

    Go to best buy and have a nerd tell you which adapter you will need. Should cost like $10 or $30 if they try to sell you apple ####.

    Most likely you will need a USB c to HDMI cable for phone to tv. Or just a plain old HDMI cable from laptop to your bigger screen.

    Look in your app settings and see if you can lower the resolution. That'll make your data allotment last longer. Watch in 480 instead of 720 or 4k. Standard definition instead of hi definition.
