As far as distant networks, nobody cares about then anymore. Every RV person or nomad I talk to would much rather call dish or directv and change their address every few weeks than to just pay the $9 or so it costs to go with all American direct.
I disagree. Lots of comments on RV forums and most would want to keep distant networks and not having to call DISH every time they move (sometimes daily) and then having to change their menu to the new channels.
