Thanks for the replies. Yes, Dish's pay as you go monthly plan was what I was referencing since I don't know of a similar Direct plan (I have Direct at home but am going to do the monthly plan Dish has). Sounds good that I'll be able to do "local" channels on the plan, we about got burned out on Death Valley Days on that MO stay, and I couldn't find out if I could pick up Cleveland, Ohio (75 miles) or Columbus, Ohio (72 miles) off of the R.V. Jack antennae for the week we'll be at that location. Once again, thanks for the replies.
