AFAIK DISH does not offer DNS but with a mobile/RV/outdoor account you can use the DISH app to change your service location and get the locals at that location. takes maybe 10-minutes for the change to take effect and another 10-min for the program guide to update.
if you have DISH at home i believe you can...
- take that rcvr in your RV with you,
- get a second rcvr for a few $ per month
- open a second RV account
if you do recordings at home while you're gone than the second option won't do since you can't have two simultaneous service locations. but check with DISH or Solid Signals...a very good authorized DISH vendor.
I pay $98 now for DTV with DNS They now want me to open a second account for the house and also one for the RV. Why would I want to spend more for a second account? Enough is enough.
you don't NEED two accounts with DISH unless you want a receiver/DVR at home to receive the local channels there AND have your RV receiver/DVR receive local channels wherever you are camping. neither service will permit two receivers on the same account but in different physical locations to receive local channels for those locations
alternatively, you can connect your OTA antenna to your DISH receiver. this connection will show whatever OTA channels your OTA antenna can receive on the DISH channel guide.
