You will want an RV account, not a home one. Why you ask? Because with a RV account you have access to either the East or West coast network feeds (Distant Network Services aka DNS).

The reference to the DirectTV FAQ page is spot on. Contact Solid Signal and they will help get you going. These guys are top notch.
