We switched from DirecTV to Dish because we want to be able to watch ABC, NBC, and CBS. DirecTV said because we have their service at our residence we will not receive those networks. I really don't understand why, they said something about having to have a waiver for our system to get those networks while in the RV. We called Dish and explained what we were looking for. Well, what do you know. All we have to do is call Dish and tell them the zip code we are in and we will receive the network stations. If you understand why one company will allow it and another one will not, please explain.
As posted, it is an FCC rule. The confusion comes from the fact Direct has call centers in India! I called once and got the same response, argued for 20 minuets, before I asked the rep "do you know what an RV is"? His response ,"NO"! They really need to fix that, I called a 303 number in Colorado, where Direct has their Home office and "boom" no problem, what zip code are you in? Bingo, "local" ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX!
