Will deactivating a Wally I own when not in use cancel the $40 DVR service and force me to pay the fee again when I reactivate the Wally?

That's news to me. Can I add two or more Wally receivers at the same time and pay only one DVR fee or do I have to pay the fee before I add more than one Wally?
Is there a limit on how many Wally receivers a single DVR fee can be applied to?
I have not hit a limit yet. I have three of them, each activated at a different time. I only had to pay the DVR fee once.
Is the Wally compatible with the dual-tuner OTA module?
If it is, can the Wally record OTA channels onto an external hard drive?

Wally has no internal drive. You must have Hopper on your mind.
Can the Wally record two OTA channels and one satellite channel at the same time?Yes and Yes.I do that all of the time.
If you have the dual OTA module, yes the Wally can record 2 OTA channels and 2 satellite channels at the same time
Two satellite channels on the Wally?
I just noticed Dish mentions a "mobile Wally" for RVs. Is there a mobile Wally and a home Wally? What's the difference?
Yes, since December, starting with software version U430. This functionality was always built-into the Wally, but required software to enable it. This is also the software release that enabled the second OTA tuner on the dual-tuner adapter. Before that, it would only work for one OTA channel at a time.
There is no difference as far as I know. I think it is just marketing.
That's news to me. I've seen the Wally referred to as a "solo" receiver. In any case, with two Wally receivers running off of an RV dish I don't think both tuners in each Wally will work unless someone knows a way to get both to work with an RV dish... A switch maybe?
It is a dual-tuner receiver. "Solo" simply refers to the number of TV's that can be connected with independent viewing. (In other words, no TV2 output like the old ViP222 receivers, and no Joeys for other rooms.) There is only one coax input on the back of the Wally because the separator is built-in, unlike the ViP receivers. I am not sure how that works with an RV dish, since I use a regular dish, so someone else will have to weigh-in on that one.
