But how much data can I expect a movie to use?

If you stream in HD or 4k, then a lot of data quickly

Last summer we spent 18 days in the rv travelling, we streamed from our phones as a mobile hotspot to roku stick. Probleem was aound glacier and yellwostone the internet was terrible so that wasn't available. Campgrounds that advertise wifi don't always have service at each spot either. I just purchased starlink satelitte for RV/Roam.

After you buy the equipment you can puase/unpause the service on a month to month basis as you wish.

I know that's available, and internet is too where I keep the camper. Just trying to avoid paying for an additional service. Is there anything I can use to stream off of my phone? Like chrome cast, just not as restrictive?

Roger that. I wasn't sure how they worked. Thanks.

So you have unlimited Hotspot?

Ha, not a brag. Its still a camper, not a camp.

Could always download (phone, etc.) and link to the TV to playback saved files. Most of the streaming services support this option. Does require some planning, but is reliable with poor service.

Use a bucket.

There are several ways you can stream content from your phone to your TVs at your camper on the coast. Here are a few options to consider:

Chromecast or other streaming device: You can connect a Chromecast or similar streaming device to each of your TVs and stream content from your phone using apps like Netflix, Hulu, or YouTube. This would require a separate device for each TV, but it would allow you to stream different content on each TV if desired.

Smart TVs: If your TVs are smart TVs, you may be able to stream content directly from your phone using the TV's built-in apps. You can typically connect your phone to the TV using a Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth.

HDMI cable: Another option is to connect your phone to each TV using an HDMI cable. This would require a separate cable for each TV, but it would allow you to stream high-quality content without worrying about buffering or data usage.

As for data usage, streaming a movie can use anywhere from 1-3 GB of data per hour, depending on the quality of the video and the streaming service. So if you're planning to stream movies frequently, you'll want to keep an eye on your data usage to avoid going over your limit.

Using your phone's hotspot capabilities for streaming can work, but it may use a lot of data depending on how much you stream. You may want to consider getting a separate mobile hotspot device with a larger data plan if you plan to stream frequently.

In terms of using one solution for all four TVs, a Chromecast or similar device would likely be the best option, as you can stream different content on each TV if desired. However, if your TVs are all the same model and support the same streaming options, you may be able to use the same solution for all four TVs.

Have you looked into T-Mobile's 5g "home internet"? It's a glorified hotspot but maybe a bit more permanent for your camper/rv than just a phone? Obviously a phone and the home router all depend on if TMobile is good at that location.
