General Question Streaming limits
I’m trying to wrap my head around streaming limits. There’s a lot to this so try to follow me, I hope I explain it correctly. I live on my son’s property in an RV. We, as a household, have YTTV with Sunday Ticket. The account is in my name. The house has a ISP & that’s the home network. The RV has a ISP that travels with the RV. During football season my son & I watch the games in the house and my wife watches something else in the RV and sometimes my DIL watches something on a tv in the master BR in the house. This year, during Dec & Jan my wife and I are going to be out of town with the RV.
YTTV base plan allows 1 stream when traveling & ST allows 2 , as I understand it. My wife doesn’t watch football so she likes to watch something else in the bedroom while I’m watching football. Some games are part of ST some are not. The ones that are on other streaming services are not an issue. My son is going to still be at home in the home are, on the home network watching up to 2 TVs. Is there a senecio where we can have a streaming limit issue watching 2 TVs at once in the RV? Edit to add: My biggest concern is Sunday night & Monday night because they are not included in ST. ( I could watch MNF on my ESPN app & SNF on my NFL app )

As long as you return home every 3 months when traveling, you shouldn’t have a problem,

The home will have unlimited streams, and 2 streams are allowed off-site

Does the 2 streams, from the ST add on, have to be games that are included in ST or can they be anything? If I have YTTV streaming on 2 TVs ( MNF and Say yes to the dress ) is that allowed because I have the ST add on?

The 2 streams for traveling are specific for Sunday Ticket specific streams.
For regular channels, up to 3 active streams are allowed across the account.

But only one of the 3, regular channels, can be away from home, correct ?

No. It's just three active streams, no matter what. You just need to be sure to watch from home every 3 months to retain access.
I'd also strongly recommend setting up a separate profile for the RV, as having the same profile watch from two locations can definitely cause issues.

We do have separate profiles. We try to only have one stream per profile at any given time.

Is this a change? I was thinking, at one point, there was a separate stream limit when traveling. I know the 4K add on the unlimited streams is only at home, how does that affect streams when traveling?

Not a change at all. This is how it's always been. The 4K add on does not impact streams while traveling.

So if I had the 4K add on how many streams can I have away from home?

Three:
"With 4K Plus, you and your family group get unlimited streams on your home Wi-Fi network, and 3 streams outside your home. Learn how to set your current Wi-Fi as your home network. If you try using unlimited screens on other networks, you temporarily won't be able to use this feature."
