It is against the TOS to use the same account in 2 places at the same time.

In theory, yes. But it's against their rules.

Though technically (per the Terms of Service) all boxes are for the residence, occasional usage in an RV while traveling hasn't been an issue.

Will need a slimline SWM dish using a tripod/sled mount, or the Winegard Trav'ler. Box must be H or HR model. If you have any "Genie" setup, be aware that Clients (Mini Genie or Gemini) cannot work without the main box. As such the Genie-2 (HS17) is not for RV users as forbids everything but Clients.

Once outside your home spot beam locals will not be available. So will need a regular antenna on your TV if you want to get locals wherever you are at.
