DISH is making life easier for RV'ers changing locals!

Not what I wanted to hear, but thanks for the answer!! So I assume if my traveling local's spotbeam did not cover my home Hopper 3 it would have no locals at all (not that I'd be home to notice it anyway...) I bought the 211z because I never could get proof that the Wally would work if less than all three satellites were in view - an early problem widely reported here.
I suspect it means someone might have a receiver in one location, and another 50 miles away, and want the locals for the other location on both?
I hope that's not true because I plan on buying a couple of the Wally receivers for my RV and the mobile dish only picks up one satellite at a time.
Have you considered getting an OTA Tivo or Tablo for either your home or RV? This would solve your OTA recoding problems.
A fix was released for that. I have no idea if it actually worked, since I have not tried it, but I have not seen any recent complaints about that issue.
Only if you use multiple receivers. If you use 1 receiver you should pick up all 3 satellites, especially with Dish being KU BAND
Who is this post targeted toward? I'm a full time RV'er for the past ten years.
Quoting the post you are responding to minimizes confusion.
No one suggested that changing locals was akin to stacking. The discussion just got off on two different tangents.
ChadT41 said that, in a different thread. Then, he clarified his position slightly.
Ok, then why is that being posted here, when Chad hasn't even posted in this thread?
That may be partly my fault, since I posted a link to this thread in the other thread. So, people who started reading that thread may have ended up here before replying to something that was said there.Ok, then why is that being posted here, when Chad isn't even in this thread?
Well, I'm about to add to the confusion by quoting from another thread from weeks ago.
It looks like we have NYDutch to thank for making this all possible:

I know quite a few other RV'ers have asked for the feature as well, so I can't take all the credit... Now I'm hoping Dish will also add the feature to the web version of MyDish, since I prefer the full size keyboard on my laptop over fat fingering my phone's keyboard. In the meantime as a work around, I've installed the MyDish app on an Android emulator that I installed a couple of years ago to run my favorite e-reader on my laptop.
You have to mail in a copy of your rv or semi registration every year to have an outdoor account.
NO that was only to get the distant nets when they had them.
Yep, as Kevin said, that's only for the Distant Networks. I've had Dish for my RV for about 10 years so far, and I've never been asked for a copy of my registration. The "Outdoors" feature just appeared in my MyDish account without any notice or input from me.
I think the "Outdoors" appeared because it is part of the menu. If you follow it, it is generic and has no features and in fact gives a link to get the "Outdoors TV" account. Having been a subscriber for 12 years, that was long before there was a "Outdoors TV" so there in nothing to trigger that being added to my account. And we were registered as an RV during the periods we used Dish DNS.
This "Outdoors TV" seems to have ignored full-time users and yet, we all got the Outdoor TV email questionnaire.
It is sad that Dish is more active for its part-time users than its full-time users. If this was a test, you think the full-time users would have been a better group to test with. I think this is just a Dish screw up.
