    Does anyone know if/how I can get TV access for current programming and news/sports with a wireless Android tablet from sources including, but not limited to:

    NBC
    CBS
    ABC
    FOX
    TNT
    TBS
    SPIKE
    USA
    CNN
    MSNBC
    FOXNEWS

    Since I spend more time rolling( aside from DOT mandated breaks, time spent being loaded or unloaded, and 'audible' human breaks), I do not maintain a fixed address other than for paper mail, I hesitate to set up a provider on that basis, but many of the network apps and websites want a television provider to log in with. NBC, TNT, and SPIKE are 3 off the top of my head..

    I know the bigger broadcasters ( NBC, CBS) have apps to watch their shows. Aside from streaming, options are limited.

    However porn is free?

    We bought the Winegard Pathway satellite for DIsh Network. My brother has Dish so he added my receiver to his account which is only $7/month(total of $84/year). The Winegard and Dish receiver was under $600.

    Highly recommend it.

    Since I am a company driver, I really don't want the hassle of having to install, uninstall, and reinstall any equipment when I get assigned another truck for whatever reason.

    Anything other than a Winegeard or Tailgater or similar will use a ton of data.

    And I've never used WiFi at TS I was happy with just for browsing. I wouldn't even attempt to watch TV/Movies on TS WiFi.
