Tailgater and Local Stations
Just bought a Dish Tailgater. While traveling, I want to keep locals and Dish told me I only need to call them with address of RV and they would push locals for area I am in. Question is, what about...

I use tailgater in many spots. For locals, I just convert to the over the air antenna. Not a big deal. Just change the source input and hit the amp button on the antenna.
If you are camping out of your home area, and have the locals switched by your satellite provider, then your home receivers will lose their local channels. When you get back home, you will need to call the provider to get your locals back on your home receivers. We don't bother with all that. So the OTA antenna works fine (to get locals in the area we are in) for us when we are out of the home area. Actually our OTA antenna, brings in as good a digital picture as our HD Tailgater. So no loss of picture quality by using the OTA.
