There are rules for sat TV, one is you can not change your service location willy nilly as often as you like,,, Another is spot beaming of your "LOCAL" network affiliates.
Thus if you want Network stateions (ABC, CBS, et-al) in an RV you need to have an RV type account (House accounts do not qualify) and you need to subscribe to distant network service. A few dollars a month more.. And of course they can raise the rates all they want and since you spend all that money on the install, what you gonna do?
What makes it worse is they are consolidating,, That is AT&T has a bid in to buy DirecTV... This can only result in higher prices for all.
AND The Sat and Cable folks wish to ban OTA broadcasts (So far the FCC has resisted that suggestion.. big time) Why.. So you will HAVE to pay their outlandish fees of course.
Now if you think I am not exactly a fan of subscription TV... RIGHT!
