Switched to Dish - Now What?

Itch & Bill - Thanks so much for the clarification!
I have family members at home while I'm on the road with the Mrs. So - I'm one of "those" who wants to have his cake and eat it as well. Since everyone has so eloquently explained what I thought, I would need to establish a second account for the Wally when I'm on the road - and then change my service address to the zipcode where I"m at on the road.
Of course, I could always just get a wally, add it to the account, and when I'm on the road get an OTA adapter and get the channels from my antenna (which, ironically I've never used!). That may be the best and simplest solution of all of them!
By the way, one thing that I do really like about dish is the integration of Sling into their hopper and the ability to stream live local content from the S&B hopper to where I'm at on the road. It's assuming I have enough bandwidth where i'm at in order to stream successfully. I used to have a Sling box until the unit failed and it was after Dish purchased Sling.
Thanks again to all!
