I have four HD direct TV DVRs, I leave two home to record local channels and bring two with me. I have the Winegard SK-3005 TRAV'LER Gray DIRECTV Slimline KA/KU Multi-Satellite TV Antenna which does everything except work while in motion. That is not important because I have a tow behind RV. If I had a class "A" I would probably have the same set up because it gets better reception and pulls in signals better that the in motion dome antennas. You always have the option of playing a DVD or you can record shows while you are parked at a camp ground and save them on your hard drive then watch those shows while moving.
You can still boot up a Direct TV DVR even with the dish not locked in to a satellite and after a few minutes the play list will display all the shows on your play list then you can just choose a show and watch it
EDIT
I am aware that you can call Direct TV and have they enable your dish to receive local channels in what ever area you happen to be traveling in but if I did that the home TV would not be able to receive the local stations, and that is why I prefer to record the local stations at home and watch the show when I get back
