Local Channels at "Vacation Property"
I will be using my home receiver (HR44) on the road in my RV while traveling in conjunction with a
proper Swim portable dish. When I get to my "Vacation Property" where we park the RV and
will be stationary for 3-5 months, each year, is there any way that Directv will allow us to have
the "Local" channels at that location? At no extra fees. It will be on our only account, one receiver that is only
used at home or then used in the RV while traveling and then used in the RV when stationary at our
Vacation Property. If obtaining the local channels is possible how would I get them switch local channels?

Simple answer is no, you need a regular antenna to get the locals while you are there.
Only one service address can be officially supported. Local channels, sports team viewing, and taxes you are required to pay are based on that address. So per Terms of Service and Federal regulations, boxes are for one address only. Because too many people would take a box, or leave one at the 2nd location, while the others at the other place could still be used, AT&T no longer allows the address to be changed upon request. Would require a full Movers order.
So the option is either use a regular antenna for locals within range, or setup a 2nd account for the vacation property. Then you just suspend one account (max 6 months within 12 month period) while you are at the other. That way everything stays legal.
