If my main home is in chicago, and I have a vacation home in Rockford and a snowbird account, when I call to change service address to Rockford will I get chicago local channels or Rockford local channels? It looks like spot beam 8 and 22 serve Rockford and Madison?

If you change your service address to Rockford, then you would get the Rockford DMA locals and not Chicago. The beam that serves Chicago will defiantly reach Rockford but would get the locals assigned to your service address.
 
If you don't change your service address and are still within the spotbeam footprint for Chicago, you will still receive Chicago locals.
