This assumes that this person would have DirecTV at home if they weren't RV'ers. In my case, if not for the RV I would not have DirecTV at all. We began as DirecTV subscribers for the RV in 1999 and eventually moved the receivers home. Early on, they would let you turn the system off and on as needed. Then, when they began limiting the number of times you could do this in a year, we shut down the cable.
If we stop RVing we will shut down DirecTV and go back to cable.
This is a very good point. The only reason we have sat service is that we had Dish on the RV and it made sense to put in in the house also. Baring that, we would probably still be with a cable service.
With that in mind, there is an incentive to provide good customer service to the admittedly small RV market segment and allowing service address changes as necessary is indeed paid for as part of the service. Granted each service address change doesn't bring in addition revenue but is paid for as part of the bigger picture.
