    Assuming you wired the antanna into the TV make sure the setting is for antanna not cable.

    As for tv that can be tricky. What type of phone do you have? And what type of TV?

    If you have a Smart TV it should be preloaded with Netflix and all you have to do is log on to what ever internet your connecting to.

    If you have home tv you can down load there app and watch tons of stuff for free. Not always live but maybe a day behind. I listen to tv shows all the time while I drive. I do have unlimited hot stop etc. I can also send it to my smart tv.

    If you have dish or directv just order another reviewer and go to camping world they will install the in motion and not ask any questions

    Do you need any Internet for it to work ? We have dish at home but I didn't want to get for the truck because I was thinking you would have to use Internet as well .

    I have an actual dish mounted on the back of my truck. When I get stopped I use the setup feature on direct tv to find the satellite. Takes about 5 minutes and cost me like 5 a month extra on my bill at home for the receiver. The dish I already had. Cost me like 10-15 bucks for the stuff to put it on the truck. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll snap some pics of the setup.
    As far as internet I use my phone as a hotspot on unlimited data.

    It is with Sprint from what I gather , it may be good where you are but my dad had Sprint and it sucked when he got outside of town because he worked in the oilfield and when he came to visit me he had no signal even in town .

    I run the southeast mostly. Giving it a shot. 14 day money back guarantee is worth a shot.
