Is it possible to have a Directv receiver at home being used and one in the RV also being used?

Yes you can take the receiver with you as long as it's not a Genie Client which is NOT a receiver. However once you travel several hundred miles you will leave the local spot beam and no longer get the national channels. If you call and get the local channels for the rig then the home receiver will no longer get its local channels.
If someone were to fall under this one option is to "move" to NYC or LA area. Pick a fake address, apartment or condo and add a number or letter to it. This will net you the CONUS locals and you'd have access to at least all your network programming, minus your local news naturally as that would be NYC.
This is absolutely false. If you use NYC or LA as your service address, as soon as you are out of the spot beam you will lose the local channels. The only way to get the network channels without changing service addresses is to purchase Distant Network Service for $10. This, depending on your billing address, will get you either the New York City OR the Los Angeles network channels. If you want actual local network channels you need to change your service address every time you leave the spot beam area of the previously selected service address.
