When I was dragging along a portable dish setup with two ports i would just run a RG CABLE into the trailer with one going to the home entertainment center location and the other going to the bedroom TV location.
I would also bring along two TWO SAT RCVRs for the house..
I would connect the RG cables up to each of the two SAT RCVRs ANTENNA ports and then run RGB cable from the SAT RCVR to the TV VIDEO INPUT connection. This would allow me to use the the TV REMOTE to select the SAT RCVR or the regular CABLE/OTA Antenna HOOKUP.
Worked great for me over the years. However when the NATl BROADCAST system went to digital HDTV mode that turned out to be a much better high def TV signal to watch the local channels on so I stopped dragging along all of the SAT RCVR items after that.
Here on the EAST SIDE of the US we get anywhere from 6-36 Digital lcoal HDTV signals which are transmitted in full high def mode "FULL SCREEN" local TV reception. Much better PICTURE quality than my standard SAT TV reception or analog CABLE TV reception offered by the camp grounds...
You can pick up a two port SAT TV DISH just about anyway. You don't have to pull down the DISH from the house. I would suggest however of having your SAT DISH Account info with you as on several ocassions my SAT RCVR would lose their setups when I disconnected them from the house and turned back on at the camp sites. I had to call the DISK company to get them reactivated and not having your account number with you sort makes that a probelm convincing them who you is... I just taped that INFO on each of the two SAt RCVRs I would bring with me...
I used DIRECT TV at that time and it was never an issue with me relocating my SAT RCVR locations. I would lose the "local town" SAT TV reception when I left the known ZIP CODE area.
