    Will this work - just take access card instead of entire receiver?

    I go out to this location a few times a month. Can I just get an additional room in my house ($5/month) and leave it at my camp even though it won't be turned on but 2-3 times a month?

    Will this work - just take access card instead of entire receiver?

    Hi. I've posted a few times about setting up a dish at my cabin 75 miles away from my home and just taking a home reciever with me when I go to the cabin. I'm wondering if I can just buy a new receiver (same exact model as home receiver) and just take the access card from home to camp with...

    MPEG-4 - when?

    Hi. Does anyone know what the DirecTV timeline is for switching over to MPEG-4? I'm currently using an HR10-250 and getting my local HD channels from antenna. I'm pretty content with the way things are currently but am wondering when my current equipment will no longer work. I'm also setting...

    Home is in Jackson, MS. Cabin is 60-75 miles east in Newton, MS. It's 2/3 of the way between Jackson and Meridian. <EDIT> I'm using round, although I have an oval laying around I could use. Not planning on doing any HD though. </EDIT>

    Summer Home With Same Subscription

    I just did this this weekend. But....local channels did not work at my "2nd home". Actually, it's more like a camp. Anyway, will local channels work in both locations? Do you have to program the receiver with your "new" zip code?

    Took receiver to camp - local channels didn't work...

    Hi. I have a cabin 75 miles away from my home. I installed a dish on the cabin and took one of my receivers from home and it worked fine...except for one thing. When I went to the local channels, it said I haven't paid for those channels. Now the local channels where my cabin is are...
