Hi Robert, as noted a lot has to do with how much time you will be on the road, where you are staying, and your tolerance for not having decent internet and tv. I typically spend 7 to 8 months on the road before returning to FL in the winter. Solid internet is a must for me. A lot of the time on the road is in National Parks in the west and the far reaches of southern and western TX. For the last year+ I have used Starlink for both internet and TV. A mobile account costs $150 a month. I use Prime and Sling TV to stream TV programs I want to watch. My phone is Wifi calling capable so I don't need to worry about cell reception when I have internet.
I have been happy with Starlink. The biggest factor with Starlink is making sure you have a good view of the northern sky. I typically get download speeds of 40+ mbps, often as high as 80 mbps...no buffering when you want to watch something in 4k.
Prior to Starlink I had a cell extender for phone and Direct TV via a Wingard Traveler roof mounted dish. Direct TV worked well for me, the cell extender not so much.
Hope this helps.
