    I take the receiver from the house and put it in the 5th wheel when we travel. No local channels, but everything else works. If you submit a Dinsant Network Service form, you can get either the east coast or west coast network feeds for ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX. I have not done that since the ATT take over, so not sure how it works today.

    My $0.01 worth.

    Same here. It only takes a couple minutes to remove from the house and set up in the RV. All your recordings and scheduled recordings stay with you.

    Not really a option for us... our main receiver is in the entertainment center... and my wife has so much stuff taping on the DVR.... would not end well...

    The only difference in service (moving from Central Oregon to southern CA and back) is we don't get local channels (e.g. ABC, CBS, NBC). But, we very rarely watch anything on the local channels and when we do, we can either use the roof antenna, park cable or stream it. As mentioned in a prior post here, if you contact DirecTV, you could get east or west coast feeds for ABC/CBS/NBC if you really wanted them.
