Well, again I was told one thing, when something else is actually >the case! I went to one account from two and agreed that I would >call with my location in the motorhome so that I could get >locals. Thus, I could eliminate the extra charge for the distant >network feed from NYC and LA. ($20/month) and the extra charge >associated with a separate account. Promised that my home would >stay with the locals for that area and the motorhome would have the >locals for the zip code where I was. NOT! >

Talked to the usual idiot in the Philapines before demanding to be >transferred to CRG (Customer Retention Group). All he (call center >guy) did was activate a receiver on a shelf in my closet (a non-HD >that I own) and change my home/billing address to a non-existent >address in the zip code which I specified as a test (he apparently >just picked an address at random).

CRG rep undid the screw up and corrected the last CRG rep (a month >ago) to say that I CANNOT have locals in two areas at one time, >.i.e. I would have to change my home receiver to the locals where I >was in the motorhome (the kids could then watch Bend, Oregon locals >while they were in California where my billing address/home base >is!). What the last representative actually did was to combine both >receivers on one account and KEEP the distant networks active...I >just hadn't seen a bill yet to figure it out. So, they are getting >the extra $20 out of me and I am, as usual, not a happy camper. At >least they gave me a questionnaire to fill out about their level of service...

Their inconsistency astounds me. Beyond frustrating...

David,

You are lucky. Stay with what you have. Mirroring (same stuff on all receivers) is by law supposed to be turned off with RV accounts and distant channels. Don't be too hard on DTV, they really don't care, its your home local channels that force them to do this stuff rather than lose subscribers. They sue and the FCC makes DTV jump through hoops. They didn't use to care...and still don't.
