Satellite with National Channels
I am looking at installing a roof dish. I understand that to get NBC, CBS, ABC, i need to get DNS services and sign an affidavit stating it is being used in a motorhome, etc. I called Dish networks ...

I only dislike the thought of changing locals all the time due to my obsession with recording (nearly) everything I plan to watch. The would mean that every time I changed locations I would also have to reprogram my DVR with the new channels where the Networks are located. I understand the Hopper can follow a program but I believe that's the only DVR that has that capability. Additionally, I really time being able to pick the time I want to watch things if I do watch live (NY 4th of July Fireworks at 7PM) or record more channels when they all come on at the same time (record some from the E feed and some from the W). Even if everything else was equal, I would really miss the ability to time shift!
On our VIP211k, we have our "locals" recordings set up using the Dish "PASS" feature that records programs by name instead of time. Using the available parameters, we can select new, all, HD only, etc., to minimize duplicates. On our Hopper, the "Prime Time Any Time" feature will automatically record all prime time programming on the major networks we select for the nights we select regardless of what channel they're on. We haven't made any DVR changes based on location since starting our Dish service.
