When we first got satellite service in 2003, everyone said DirecTV was the only way to go due to their service and the elevation of their satellite on the horizon. Now when driving through campgrounds...

I noticed none of the responders are from CA. When I had Dish Network for home I was offered a mobile access that I used with my Tailgater at zero cost...I only had to pay for the package that I use at home. I had to pay for the Tailgater though. I liked the idea of three satellites which makes it easier for the antenna to lock-in.
However, the low price they had started from did not last for long. The programming line-up had deteriorated so bad they even eliminated certain channels. I also purchased add-on device to have access to local channels.
Another kicker was the reception at the motor home was unstable that it constantly defaults to all day Dish promotion. This is just one of the reasons I ditched Dish Network.
Now, I have Amazon Prime...no dragging of co-ax cable, no aiming of antenna,no climbing up the roof and best of all it cost me almost a quarter of what it cost me with Dish.
I'm from So Cal and long-time Dish customer for home and RV. I have never experienced any of the problems you mentioned.
I have never heard of having to buy an add-on device to get local channels. As far as the receiver defaulting to the Dish promotion channels, that's what happens if the receiver is not used for a while. A simple call to Dish to have the receiver reactivated is all it takes.
