You don't get the local channels. You can however connect an antenna to the receiver.

No way for them to know where the receiver is Dish has a whole department called the Receiver Audit Department that specialized in running down receivers that are not where they are suppose to be. They are very good at finding them when they want to be. Expecially if you happen to call Dish with a RV problem. The Audit people and the RV people are one in the same.

If you own the receiver, it is okay to move it into your RV. If you lease your receiver, you contract says you can not move it.

We are full timers and do not have an RV account. When we go to a new area we change our physical address so we can get the local channels. We do this 3 or 4 times a year. We leave our billing address the same. We have never had the receiver police disconnect our service or even question what we are doing. We have gotten new receivers when the old one was not working properly and when we went to HD. Neither the technicians nor anyone else with the company ever questioned what we were doing. We did the same things before we started full timing and took our receiver out of our house. Although we only did that for about a year. We do not own our receiver.

The biggest problem here is Dish.... When you go to their web site it is in Latin or Greek or something. You can never find the correct info or rates. If someone could go to their site and click on RV service and it would give you the rates and info on what you have to do to get one in an RV that would be fantastic. But it is just over and over, page to page of buy Direct TV, buy Direct TV, Direct TV is wonderful, but no useful info for RV's. This shows in all the different stories of ways people have Direct in their RV's.

Very true if you go in the "front door" of Dish or Direct.
Try these doors instead . . .

If I don't use mine for a few weeks, I have to call in to get it activated. A little trick I use, When the automated questions start, just say "I want to speek to someone" and your call goes directly to a tech. That can speed things up. That also works for "some" other places that have automated answering.
