Well since they will give you distant locals if you have an RV, one will have to assume that they assume the reciever is in motion.

Now if you want locals, be aware that most locals are moving to spot beams and will not be available more than a couple hundred miles from the market.
This is not an RV question. RVs are a special exemption so that reallydoes not apply here.. What is the ruke on two statioanry addresses.

I am not sure how amny locals are moving to spot with DISH. And the East Coast spot looks pretty big. But I would think the DMA would matter even if youa re inside the spot footprint.


Anyway----who knows?

The official policy is fairly straightforward: each account has a "service address." All the equipment is supposed to be located there and only there. RV's accounts are a special case that allows receivers to be mobile.

In reality, though, neither E* nor D* seems to be interested in enforcing the single service address requirement for people who move a receiver from one place to another as they travel (with or without an RV).

It's a completely different story, though, for those who have a lot of receivers on one account and share the service with friends who live at different addresses.

Moving the receiver to a different DMA may limit the reception of spot-beam locals, but all other programming will be available anywhere in the continental US.
From the Residential Agreemnt. I guess that answers it.

Additional Receivers. To independently tune additional televisions within your home, a separate DISH Network receiver is required for each television. DISH Network will allow you to place up to five additional receivers on your account. Each additional receiver would be authorized to receive the same Services as your initial receiver. DISH Network will charge you a reduced monthly fee (Additional Receiver Authorization Fee) for each additional receiver added to your account. This option is only available if your initial DISH Network receiver and all additional receiver(s) are located at the same residence and are continuously connected to the same telephone line. If you desire to receive Services at two different locations, you must open a separate account for each location. You agree that you will not directly or indirectly use a single account for the purpose of authorizing Services for multiple DISH Network receivers that are not all located in the same residence and connected to the same phone line. If we later determine that you did, we may terminate your Services and, in addition to all other applicable fees, you agree to pay us the difference between the amounts actually received by us and the full retail price for the Services authorized for each DISH Network DBS receiver on the account, whether owned by you or not. The payment of that amount and/or the termination of Services shall not prejudice our ability to exercise any other rights and remedies we may have under this Agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise.
