Are you sure DirecTV is going to pick up your local BROADCAST STATIONs when on the road. I haven't used my DIRECTV setup in awhile now but when I was using it on the road I would lose my LOCAL PROGRAMING for the NATL BROADCAST stations as soon as I left my ZIPCODE area.
I could call DIRECTV and have them change my local area but I don't think they like doing this very many times...
When you leave the spot beam area you will no longer get the locals and the spot beam covers large areas. I've gotten SF locals in central Oregon which is about 500 miles. When changing locals DTV asks me for the address and usually the county. They keep track of previous addresses and the change is much quicker for those.
If you live in the NY or LA areas then apparently you can get the 4 major DNS stations without getting DNS authorized. Others have posted that these are SD only.
