Direct tv use

WE do exactly what John Wayne suggests. We have a wireless, all-house genie system for the house and purchased an older, non HD box for the RV. It is $7. more a month. No problems for anyone. It's totally fine with Direct TV as well. When we get to our campsite, we simply call them and have our box 'reset' so we can then get local channels. Unfortunately, DH just told me Direct TV said they are getting rid of that. He then said that your home's local channels will be available on an "old" box if Direct TV broadcasts the stations in both HD and standard formats. That may depend on how the actual tv station broadcasts, or it may be a decision by Direct TV. Our local stations in Myrtle Beach only broadcast in HD, so we will not be able to receive them through our RV's Direct TV set up anymore. We'll have to depend on the traditional, top of the roof over the air antenna. There is a program Direct TV offers, for a monthly fee (Think it's about #3.00/ per channel) where you can receive network stations through a standard box wherever you are. It will be the network's national feed. Hope this isn't too confusing!! Your best idea might be to call Direct TV. That's what we did and they were very helpful. Used to be they had a real problem with taking a box on the road. No more!
