We do it all the time here as well. As mentioned above we will lose our local channels about as soon as we get outside our home ZIP CODE area.
I puchased a portable SAT DISH for Directv and use the two ports on it to feed two SAT Receivers we bring with us from home. Then I use the VIDEO OUTPUT of the two SAT RCVR and feed the VIDEO INPUT of the the HDTV in the living room and in the bedroom. This allows me to select SAt TV or CABLE/OTA TV by using the trailer mounted TV remotes. Works great for us.
You may run into a problem with your SAT IN MOTION thing. I am not in the know on how all that works. It may even be on a differnt SAT?... But bringing along your bedroom SAT RCVRS from homes will work like gang busters for you.
My SAt RCVRs are older models and sometimes they lose their SETUPS when I disconnect them. Then I have to call DIRECTV on their 800 number or online and reactivate the RCVR when we are at the camp ground. So be sure to have your account info with you. I have my info taped on each SAT receiver. When I do this I say it is in my RV but came from bedroom 1 etc. They have no problem at all with this and reactivates it right away.
Here more recently however since the Natl Broadcast System has gone to their digital HDTV mode I have stopped bringing along my DIRECTV Sat items. They are a pain sometimes setting up. Now we get full blown high def TV OVER THE AIR using the BATWING Antenna from the local towns and it is in full blown HDTV mode and FREE to use. Looks alot better than our SAT TV standard signals. We usually only like to watch the NATL BROADCASt channels anyway. Got to get my NCIS and HAWAII 5-0 haha...
You can also sign up for RV SAT TV from DirecTv too if you like and want to pay for another account. Some folks are doing the oposite now. Dropping their home DirecTV account and using the RV SAT TV account when at home as well...
If we want to watch some of the cable channels on the road we can always downstream then over the internet but that does require a pretty big 20GB DATAPLAN.
