How Large Of An LED TV Can Fit In A Typical Sleeper? Can Sprint Wifi Tether Stream Over A Smart Tv?
Topic 12701 | Page 2
Got a 40" LED Samsung in my truck!
Nice hammer! I'm still trying to figure out how to have good hi speed Internet or satellite tv in a company truck.
Charlie, I don't know how you have such good luck with T-Mobile. I had them as my carrier for an entire year as OTR and they the worst thing imaginable. Half the day I couldn't even have a conversation over the phone with someone because of the limited service.
I have metro pcs like Charlie. T-mobile has drastically improved their coverage over the last year. When I first started last March, I frequently hit zones where I was roaming and couldn't get days, or worse complete dead zones. Now I have service almost everywhere I go.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
The secret to free wifi is a yagi wifi antenna. I paid 20$ for mine off ebay, I have it hooked to a cheap 50$ windows 8 tablet that I use as a "brain" hooked to my tv. It can pick up a signal within a half a mile and there are free wifi spots everywhere. All you have to do is point it in the direction of the wifi. I pick up internet at every truck stop from mcds,bk,wendys,dennys, even the indoor free wifi at pilot. Like I said, there are free wifi spots everywhere, you just need an antenna to pick them up

Cool! That's good to know. Are you able to steam movies/music as well?

How do you mount that? Do you have to punch holes in anything?
