Our HTT came with one. Used it on the first trip and then I removed it, after verifying that everything worked.
Why sit inside at camp and watch TV, I can do that at home in more comfort.

The kids are allowed to watch it after climbing into bed. I make an attempt before quickly falling asleep in the recliner.

If we can get OTA channels we like it for news and weather with our coffee in the morning. If we are camping with family or friends it’s never turned on otherwise. If it’s just the wife and I, in the evenings a DVD goes in sometimes.

During football season it's a must. Other than that we seldom turn it on other than rainy days.

We have one. The only time I have tried to use it was during the last Olympics. We were camping in a Provincial Park (no cable) and there were no OTA stations within range.

For us it is an every night thing. We go for 2 to 4 week trips to one or two locations and make those locations our home. During the day we are out enjoying the area (kayaking, hikes and bicycling). During the evening it is home. So I have a blueray player and bring a selection of movies. After dinner we hang and watch a movie.
Keep in mind this is "camping" for my wife and we don't really stay without hookups...

Our new jayfeather came with a 32"tv but it seems where ever we are camping we are out in nature usually without hookups and it just seems wrong somehow to be watching TV when camping out in someplace beautiful.. If it's raining hard enough I can't keep dry with rain gear then I sit at the table and read or play cards..
But if I'm in the city someplace, sure I'd watch it some..

I'd give up the Dish Winegard system for the Connect 2 wifi receiver in a minute.

Do you camp one weekend or two per year? Do you live in your RV. Do you have a television in your house? How many televisions do you own? Questions in life that we ponder?

I like my 32'' high def TV. Don't watch it all that much but when I'm able to get OTA stations I'll tune in and watch in the evening. Really like the ""Antenna"" TV stations cause they play old sitcoms like "All in the Family", "Mash" etc. I camp alone so it keeps me company, lol.

Certainly not that important but sometimes the wife likes to get comfortable in the theatre seating, TV will be on but generally she’ll fall asleep in the recliner.

We like to watch local TV stations to find local events. Have found many fun activities that we would have not know about otherwise.

no tv. We're not big watchers anyway, but if it matters that much, we'll likely stay home.

Pretty unimportant while camping. If we are staying in an RV park in town we might use it a bit. Most of the time it is just something we carry around.

TV is a must. In fact,I now ,only go to campgrounds with cable. At 62,I like my coffee in bed,with TV on.same as at home. NEED it to fall asleep.
Camping for me and wife ,consists of A/C,cable,microwave,elec.skillet,toastr oven. last three are for left ovrs. Didnt work our butts off all our lives,TO WORK,during retirement. Someday,maybe we'll have a Monaco,Phaeton,class A. BUT,certainly,recall the days of tenting,hot ,buggy,grilling,sleeping on the ground. Thank you jayco. No insults intended,or wanted

We have one. Nothing crazy, like a 20”. The kids really enjoy it. I’ll hook a mini Nintendo and let them play games or watch movies when it’s bad weather or they need a “break” from each other. When it’s just the wife and I we will watch movies too if the weather is crap
