I am surprised that they let us move a 2nd receiver into our RV. But when I do that, they assume that I will NOT be using any service at the house, especially when I have the local channels moved to a specific area. But they have to know that many RV'ers will have a house sitter, or another family member using the service (w/o locals) at the house while they are gone in the RV. Therefore, even tho that really is theft of service, they are not concerned enuff about it to stop the RV receivers.
What amazes me, is if they are able to stop the locals from the home area, why can't they stop the regular programming in the home area too ?
The locals are on a spot beam on the satellite, think focused flashlight beam shining down on one spot. Move the dish from under the beam and you loose the channels. They can easily be authorized for your receiver. The other channels are part of a broader package and dispersed nationwide on the satellites. Very difficult to impossible for them to shut down for a specific area. They can only shut it off completely for a specific receiver. There is no way to determine where that receiver is located.
