How to use directv receivers in a second location?

Question

I have read that customers having two receivers have taken one to a different location and were able to have service using another dish. I have been able to do this also, however I am not able to get the network channels (abc, nbc, cbs and fox) is there any way for me to get these channels?

Answer 1

You have to scan for channels using the off air antenna if it is equipped. That's likely why it works at your place but not at the second location (I'm assuming it is in a different city or state)

Answer 2

You will not be able to.  The locals are delivered via a spot beam so you can only can see locals based on your account address.  You can however see everything else.
