We have Direct tv and found that by taking the 2 boxes from the spare room TV's, we can hook one for the LV and other for the bdrm. Sure we only get the local stations when we are in the local receiving areas, but it is better then having two separate accounts. I use a splitter connector on my inputs. A Direct installer made that for me(free). Separate cable to each. We keep the satalite headings in our camping book for reference when stopping. If we don't have the headings, I enter the zip code, see the headings and set the dish outside. Usually takes about 5-10 minutes. I prop the window open so I can hear the beeping from the tv. I have a 50' dual cable (free from the installer) in case I have to find a clear spot. The dual cable lets us see different programs if wanted. Hope this is of help to others.
