As others have said, I take one of the receivers from home, also I am cheap and use the second dish that Direct gave me when I signed up and use it on a tripod. I am happy with just national news and do not need to hear local news. Some have told me that I can change the zip code to the area you are in, but I never do that. If you were to do that the receivers in your S&B would also change, which would not be problem unless someone is housesitting. JMO
I have a second account in the MH and have DNS channels ( either east coast or west coast networks)
Since we are gone all winter I put the home on vacation when we are in the motor home, when at home we put the MH on vacation with 2 accounts you can put each on vacation up to 4 times a year - since the home account is much more expensive I save money by alternating one on vacation
