Last time I checked Directv will not allow you to temporarily change your service address. (been awhile). Also when we had a stick house and asked about DNS (east coast west coast feeds) we were told we couldn't "mirror" our home service and would have to pay for 2 complete packages (double the monthly fee) FCC rule). So we decided to just use over air signals. If you have analog TV's you can buy Winegard converters to digital for each TV. That's what we did. Now that we full time, we still get over air signals. OK if you're near a major city. If you boondock lots, you will want the DNS on Directv.
Interesting. Dish allows us to get our exact home pkg except for locals, anywhere, at a cost of an additional $7 am month which can be turned on and off as desired one month at a time. For $13 a month we can get the dns network stations but are only supposed to do that when actually traveling, not at home. Dish lost a court case about that several years ago.
Changing our service zip code allows us to get the appropriate locals anywhere in the US. This past trip we used the $13 a month for the dns option but will not in the future. For the little we used it, free is better.
