By a "gateway" I presume you're referring to the Winegard units that install outside on the roof and enhance an LTE, 5G, or WiFi signal. I believe those units generate their own WiFi network. If so, I recommend Google Chromecast. It's cheap... $30 or so and allows you to connect your phones and Chromecast to the WiFi network, letting you stream any video content on your phone to the TV through Chromecast.

Your problem will be getting enough high speed cellular date to stream TV for more than a long weekend per month.

This is a huge subject and there are massive amounts of forum posts and YouTube posts about this topic.

I wish I could tell you “Do this” but it’s much more complex than what streamer to use.

The number one source for info on this is www.rvmobileinternet.com.

You will need to connect your AppleTv or Roku to the WiFi of your Winegard. I recommend YouTube TV for live TV etc. There are some free channels on other apps. but is limited.

I'm assuming you have the Winegard online and connected to Verizon?
