Second Location for D* Service

[msuspartan]

My primary residence is in Atlanta. Several times a year I am at what will someday be my retirement home in Florida. Is it possible to have a part time D* service at my Florida home until I move there full time? If so what would the cost be? Thanks for your help.

Then suspend the account when you are not there. I think DIRECTV is making it hard to go back and forth suspending accounts now though.

Or you can just take your stuff with you when you go back and forth. You could use the movers connection once to get setup in the new location. Then just take your receivers back and forth with you. You would need to call DIRECTV everytime to change the address of use so you would get locals.

Do you already have a dish installed at your Florida home?

We have a house at the Jersey Shore and live in the Philly area. When we go to the beach we just grab a receiver and take it with us. I installed an extra dish I had and its just a matter of plugging it in while we are there. No cost! The receiver does not know where it is at!

Probably not.
Probably wouldn't be asking if they did.

It is likely that the easy way to do this would be to move back and forth. In this way, you can use a single account and you'll get locals in either location. If you lie about it as baeverly suggests, you'll lose access to locals when away from the official service address.

You would have to ask DIRECTV about a second installation.

Depending upon where in Florida, the spotbeamed locals may still reach (likely not too far south, though).

Thanks for the input! I appreciate all your help. I guess I will call D* and put myself at the mercy of a CSR as the next step.
