Yes, you can use a receiver from home (assuming that it is compatible with your Winegard dish). If you are outside your home area (spot beam), you will not receive your home's local channels without calling DirecTV and telling them where you are. I pay the $7 per month for an additional receiver and then keep it in my camper permanently. I don't worry about losing the local channels when I am out of my "spot beam" area, and just switch over to the antenna when I want to view the local channels. DirecTV told me that they are fine with using a receiver in an RV, so long as you are not using their service at 2 locations simultaneously (i.e., you are not supposed to using it at home and in your RV at the same time).
