If you want to keep working receivers at home and in the RV at the same time as you indicate you DO NOT want to setup any kind of an RV account (not sure there is such a thing either). Changing any programming while you travel will kill the Network programming at home. If you plan to travel extensively and want service in both places you may need to setup 2 separate accounts. Otherwise, one of you will need to use the OTA antenna for your Network programming if you travel too far from home.

Let me see if I can sum this all up. I can use the existing dish I have, IF I order if I order the HV24 (non DVR I believe). I want to be sure that I do not make any changes to programing while on the road if I don't want to interfere with my home programing (not a problem, as I just want it to be easy to move the receiver, no one will be using at home). If I go to far outside of my service area, I might lose local stations (I usually travel in S.W. US). Am I missing anything in this summary?

The H24 is not a DVR. The HR24 IS a DVR. You make the choice as either one will work but a DVR will require that you run 2 coax cables from the Dish to the receiver unless you get a different antenna/LNB combo.
If you don't care about what's happening at home, TAKE IT ALL! It's easy. It costs very little to change your current setup to a SWM setup and you can use the Genie at home along with the clients and then take the Genie in the RV (along with all of your favorite recorded programs). Who doesn't want to be able to watch and record 5 different channels simultaneously!?
The local Network programming is spot-beamed and generally available within 300-1000 miles of home depending upon the market and the size of the spot beam. If you drive out from under this beam you will get NO Network programming but you can always use your roof top (Batwing) TV antenna if you are within range of the local OTA TV broadcast.
