We full time and have traveled east coast west coast and everywhere in between well almost. When we had a house had Direct TV it worked ok. However when you get out of your home area you will not get local channels. Now we have a Pathway X2 with dish. Pathway is a carryout and for about $60.00 you can get a stand for it. It will allow you to run two receivers off the same unit. With dish when you leave your local area you call dish and they program the local channels easy as pie. The antenna is automatic and as long I have view of the southern sky I get tv.
The local channel thing is an FCC rule, it has nothing to do with Direct or Dish! You get your "local" channels until the system detects you are out of your local viewing area, then a call to your provider gets you the "local" channels where you are at the time!
As far as reception, we have Direct and have traveled from Miami to Hallifax NS with no problems.
