The reason I use cable if they have it, and it works well, is that it gets the local network channels and makes it easy to watch the few network programs we like. With my DISH service, the only way I can get the network channels is to change my service address each time I move (this gets me the RV park's local network channels), then change it back to my home address when I get back home so we can get the local channels at home. This is a pain. They tell me I might be able to get my home local channels while on the road if the satellite signal is strong, but I have not been able to get them yet when hooked up at any of the RV parks where I have used my DISH.

so the A/B switch between the satellite dish antenna and the receiver is not a problem, but a splitter would be? Not the amplifier/switch, but a simple splitter.

I thought your "home" locals would be unchanged and available unless you wanted to get actual locals from where you happen to be. Does it depend on your ability to be able to receive from all of the satellites. ???
