FWIW:
If you have DirecTV back home, read further: You can call their "Mover's Connection" toll-free number (877) 616-MOVE (6683) to arrange an antenna installation at your TV home. Make sure you bring your receivers (all of them) from home along with the 110v cords and the remotes and have your new televisions set up in your villa. They'll hook you up just like it was a new installation - - - except you provided the receivers! You call their regular 800 number to have them switch your local service area to TV - do the same when you leave to go back home. That controls where you're getting your local channels from - the TV area or back home. THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL CHARGES/FEES FOR THIS. And the antenna install is free....for "standard installation", that is. If you want the antenna installed on a short pole in the ground, there's usually an up-charge for that. Anyways, this set-up should work perfectly for snowbirds. Thus it's like having a single DirecTV service/account......only you can use it at two locations. Hence the reason to take all your receivers to TV - they won't allow concurrent service at the two locations.
And if you don't have DirecTV service back home, maybe it's worth switching.
