Options for people who migrate to Florida

[JerryK]

Hi,
My folks have an RV and are looking at getting Direc*. They're offering 4 "rooms" which I assume is 4 receivers. Can they just put the extra receiver in the camper and it will work in Florida?

I expect that locals won't work due to "spot beams" and this isn't a real problem...just wanted to know if the rest of the sub will work down there.

Yes, everything but spot-beamed locals will work fine.

Have them get at least 1 HD receiver even if they don't have HD. Then they can use an antenna to get digital locals via their D* receiver. Most of FL should have digital OTA coverage.

dishstore has an extra single lnb dish for $22 in the bargin bin. I bought one for camping with my h20 receiver. get ota locals like mentioned above.

Couldnt they get the DNS network feeds with an RV waiver also?

Thanks guys, I'll have them go ahead and do it.

I know about DNS and the RV waiver. Just not sure I want to tell them that the 4th "home" receiver is in a camper. I figure they'll want more $.
