Can I have a receiver to travel with. Other than home receiver.

I have a camp that we go to about once a month. Is there a receiver that we can leave there.

Sure. What type of satellite dish and LNB is currently used at the camp? (i.e. HD Slimline dish with SWM LNB) Also, if your LNB is SWM, have you verified that there is a SWM power inserter present in the setup? If so, you would probably be happy with a standalone HD or HDDVR receiver like the H25 (HD) or HR24 (HDDVR). I highly recommend the H25 if you don't want to record anything or the HR24 if you do plan to record shows while at camp. These receivers can be left at camp as well.

Just be aware that service is for your primary residence only and using a receiver at a location other than your primary residence is a violation of the terms of service.

You will not get any local channels unless the camp is in the local channel beam that covers your service address.

Make sure to never upgrade to a Genie-2 (HS17) as that forbids standalone boxes so wouldn't allow what you want.

And remember, you will pay another $7 every month for one more TV. The downside of not taking a box with you.
