Extra Dish Network vip222k receiver for trailer

When we travel I take my vip222k receiver with me and use it with a portable antenna. I'm tired of unhooking it and rehooking it up in the rv. Can I purchase a vip222k receiver and leave it in the rv all the time and just use the smart card from my house receiver when traveling. I don't want to keep the rv receiver activated all the time but would like to make it easier to use. A smart card swap if possible would make things alot easier. Thanks for any suggestions.
I'm trying to avoid both the extra receiver fee and hook up and unhook.
  • 322 receiver off at the house. 211K on in the RV. 7 bucks off 7 bucks on. Same.
  • You know you can turn that extra receiver on and off on your account so you only pay the $7 for the months you actually use it. You can call or go on line and have the receiver activated and de-activated any time you want.
  • $7 a month is very little to pay for the convenience. At least for me.
  • When I moved receivers I used quality push on cables that made it somewhat easier but it was still a pain and I forgot the remote a couple times. Finally gave up and just paid the 7 bucks a month.
  • No , the card and the receiver are "tied" to ea other and won't work.
