Hi ALL We are Direct TV customers at home & we received a free Direct TV HD box with our recently new 2014 unit, & need someone to tell us how to use this Direct TV box in our unit. Is it as easy ...

I should have made it clear in the first message that we do have an automatic Dome receiver on the RV's roof which sounds like it is ready to go as it will search for signals when it is fired up. It is also set up to receive the Direct TV signals.
I was hoping that all we had to do was take the receiver card from home & use that in the RV's receiver & all would be fine.
But are you all saying that I will need to have the RV's receiver added to our account & pay rent on it ?
Is there any way to use either just the card from home in the RV's receiver ?
Or to take the home receiver along in the RV & hook that up in place of the RV's receiver ?
Thanks for the feedback thus far !!!!

You don't have to add a new receiver to your account, just use the one in the house, unplug it and put it in the RV and hook it up there. But yes, it does have to be an activated receiver, and no you cannot swap cards. They are indexed to their respective receivers.
