Update local channel line up to watch game

I am in Houston and they will not show Dallas Cowboys game on CBS. If I'm in CorpusChristi they do. Can I change my location to CorpusChristi so I can watch the game.

Short answer is no - the "home" location is set by your billing address, and you can't just change it.  This isn't really DirecTV's choice - their contracts with the broadcast networks tie the locals you get to your actual location (to protect those network's local affiliates).  If you change your credit card to have a billing address in Corpus Christi, it might work, but you'd have to convince your credit card company (who might consider it fraud), and it wouldn't be something you could do for a single football game and then switch back.
