We need to know specifically what channels and TV DMA you're talking about to give specific answers.Which transponders do I need to hit? That being said, will this setup allow me to pick up my local stations as well?
How far away from your residence will your tailgate location be? Unless you are going 100 miles or more you should be golden on the locals.
(Our "So. Cal. locals - 2 [CBS], 4 [NBC], 7 [ABC], 11 [FOX]" traveled all the way with us from So. Cal. to Minnesota on our recent RV trip.)
I expected them to follow us as 391 [CBS], 393 [NBC], 397 [ABC] & 399 [FOX]. I was just surprised that they stayed with us as 2, 4, 7, and 11. But, on second thought, I guess they are really the same signal just programmed to show as 2, 4, 7 and 11 for us west coast folks.LA and NY locals (big four only) are on CONUS beams and therefore available throughout the country.
