We often have to reactivate our receivers in our rig as well, we have Dish at home service and just added a couple of VIP receivers for our RV to our plan. We set up our own HD satellite antenna upon arrival and use Dish chat from our cell phone to have the receivers pinged/refreshed. We enjoy Netflix and OTA tv but neither option offers the sports programming we seek.
I made the mistake of calling Dish network directly one time and they didn't have a clue. Someone here on the forum mentioned they use Dish chat, which we now do and it only takes a few minutes to have all the programming we have at home. I have a message with receiver and card info written on document stored on my smartphone, I just paste it into the Dish chat box.
