Directtv.... We do NOT call and ask for local channels every time we move out of our home spot beam.. When we winter in Florida for 6 months we call and say this.

We are now at our winter residence in Florida zip code xxxxx we would like the Orlando local channels. zip xxxxx. We do not mention the the word RV. As far as Directtv knows we have a residence in Ohio and a residence in Florida and we move between the two of them twice a year.
I do not think it reasonable to expect them to change service for us every time we move out of our local spot beam. For short out of spot beam trips we use the antenna for local channels.
They change our service address for that 6 months period. When we return to Ohio we do the same thing in reverse.

They will change the service address for a "Move" (look it up) travelling across the country in a Rv is not a "move' for that you will need the east/west feeds.
We move our residence every six months. We have a legal residence in Ohio and a legal residence in Florida. That is why they do it for us and others.
